Chapter 141: Dawn Town
"Brother Da Niu, why don't you ask Anlando for benefits?"
Zhao Xi and the seven members of the Raising Eyebrows Clan had just walked out of the lord's mansion, and Ye Qianqian couldn't wait to ask.
When Baron Anlan, the lord of Preston, Zhao Xi only asked for a dimensional map, and An Lan also gave a warrant, allowing Zhao Xi to temporarily recruit no more than 10 people, and the time limit was also 48 hours.
Among all the team members, only Ye Qianqian, who had just arrived, dared to question Zhao Xi at this time, first of all, her strength was strong enough and confident, and secondly, she was not very convinced by Zhao Xi.
But her question did raise the same question in the minds of everyone else: why not make more points?
Zhao Xi glanced at her and thought to himself that this eldest lady was really a bit difficult.
He didn't believe that Ye Qianqian really couldn't see his intentions, and he chose to deliberately ask questions at this time, the little girl's ability to pretend to be confused was first-class, and he didn't know who gave birth to such a shrewd person.
It's just that since she asked, Zhao Xi also had to explain to her teammates: "As the so-called merit is not successful, we have just arrived at Preston now, and we are not familiar with the situation here at all, and we must rely on the cooperation of Baron Anlan and Rock Knight to complete the task, so it is the most important thing to win their trust and respect first." ”
"If I just opened my mouth to An Lan, if I don't want to say the benefits, I'm afraid her favorability towards us will drop immediately, and it will definitely outweigh the losses!"
After listening to Zhao Xi's analysis, Fang Xu couldn't help but be speechless: "Damn, there is so much attention to doing a task?" ”
Zhao Xi smiled: "This is the special feature of the plot mission. We can't treat them as NPCs, but as living characters, and we must understand their personalities and characteristics and carry out targeted actions to ensure the success of this mission. ”
Li Shuai felt a little incredible: "Brother Da Niu, you haven't played a virtual game before, how do you know so much about the plot task?" We've also read the information on the story missions, but we haven't seen any of these things! ”
Zhao Xi said: "I look at the focus of the game information is different from yours, maybe it's a professional habit!" ”
Ye Qianqian's eyes flashed, and she pursed her pink lips. Nothing more.
Others were even more relieved. Fang Xu and the others all knew that Zhao Xi had worked in the army for seven years before, and he had also been a junior officer, so his views on many things must be different from ordinary people.
It is definitely a blessing for them to have such a thoughtful captain!
Under the leadership of Zhao Xi. Everyone left Blackstone Castle together. Set off towards Dawn Town.
The town of Dawn is located about seven or eight kilometers northwest of Blackstone Castle. Due to the proximity of the distance, there were no public carriages in the castle, so everyone walked along the fairly smooth road.
Preston's area is not very large. But the scenery is still very good, on both sides of the road are patches of wheat fields, before the autumn harvest season, the green and yellow ears of wheat swaying in the wind to make a rustling sound, the scene of the undulating wheat waves is refreshing.
From afar, at the end of the plain is a dense forest, in which majestic mountains stand, the sky is high and the sun is shining, and the air is filled with the fragrance of earth and grass.
It's just that there are very few pedestrians on the road, and some are just a few farmers and civilians who pass by, and the population is obviously too sparse in this isolated and isolated plane.
After walking for nearly an hour, through a sparse wood, I saw a town appear in front of me.
Dawn has arrived.
This marginal town is one of the best in Preston, with a population of over 600 inhabitants who make a living from farming, mining, and hunting, according to the plane map.
It's a small town, but it's actually about the same as a village, Dawn Town is built on a grassy slope, and there is a small river meandering nearby, ancient and quiet.
From a distance, there are very few buildings over 10 meters high and more than two storeys in the town, most of them are bungalows or even thatched huts, and the perimeter of the town is surrounded by wooden stakes and fences to form rudimentary defenses.
At the end of the road, the entrance to Dawn Town, there is a checkpoint, guarded by two warriors in shabby leather armor and carrying short knives, who stand behind the stake fence with very wary eyes.
Zhao Xi took a look with insight, both of them were level 13 fighters, and their equipment was very poor.
Seeing the Raised Eyebrows team coming all the way, one of the fighters immediately shouted and asked, "Who are you?" ”
Zhao Xi motioned for the team members to stop first, and he stepped forward and said, "We are hired adventurers sent by Lord Anlan to deal with the shadow wolf in Dawn Town. ”
"Hire adventurers?"
The two warriors looked at each other, and the one just now asked, "Do you have any credentials?" ”
"I have a warrant from my lord!"
Zhao Xi smiled slightly and handed over the warrant issued by An Lan.
The opposing warrior took it, and he didn't open it directly, but said to his companion: "Go and invite Pastor Du Wei over!" ”
The other warrior nodded, and ran toward the town.
The soldier in charge of negotiating with Zhao Xi was a little embarrassed, and explained to Zhao Xi very embarrassedly: "Neither of us can read or read the warrant, so we can only ask the priest to come and see, I hope you don't mind!" ”
Zhao Xi nodded and said, "It's okay, we can wait." ”
An Xiaohai, who followed behind him, muttered: "What a broken town, there are still so many rules, let's break in directly, what can they do to us?" ”
Zhao Xi glared back at him, and the thief immediately closed his mouth.
However, they did not wait long, but after a moment's effort, another warrior hurried over with a middle-aged priest in white robes.
The middle-aged priest was level 17, thin and ordinary-looking, not old but gray, and holding a small staff in his hand.
He took the warrant and unfolded it and looked at it, and suddenly showed a look of relief: "Thank you God of Light, Lord Anlan has finally sent someone to support us, I am Du Wei, the only pastor in Dawn Town, please come in!" ”
The priest asked the soldiers to move the wooden fence blocking the way, and let Zhao Xi and the others come in: "I'll take you to see the mayor!" ”
The town's roads are in disrepair, the town is deserted with no pedestrians, and there are very few shops on either side of the street, and some are closed.
Perhaps alarmed by the sound of their footsteps, many of the towns were swaying behind many doors and windows, and these townsfolk hid in hidden places, looking at the players passing by on the road with suspicious eyes.
Although he knew that they were all NPCs, but being followed all the way by such a gaze, even Fang Xu, who was very arrogant, felt very uncomfortable, and An Xiaohai didn't know how many words he secretly scolded.
Zhao Xi pretended to ask casually, "Pastor Du Wei, why are all the people here hiding?" ”
Du Wei smiled bitterly: "You should know that some time ago, our Dawn Town was attacked by the Shadow Wolf, in fact, the harassment of the Shadow Wolf has not been interrupted so far, more than a dozen residents in the town have disappeared, and now everyone does not dare to come out even during the day." ”
Zhao Xi asked, "Then why don't you hide in the Black Stone Castle?"
Du Wei shook his head: "Without the permission of the lord, we can't move to the city, and the Black Rock Castle can't accommodate more residents, and besides, this is also their home, and no one wants to leave until they have to." ”
Zhao Xi said: "That's what I'm here for!" ”
As he spoke, the mayor's house arrived.
The mayor's house is one of the tallest buildings in this town, but the doors and windows are closed, and Du Wei knocked on the door for a long time before a fat man with a sad face carefully opened the door.
This is the mayor of Dawn Town, and when he heard the intention of Zhao Xi and the others, he became happy, and immediately welcomed everyone into the living room, and asked the maid to serve tea and snacks.
Zhao Xi said straight to the point: "Mr. Mayor Town, we are here on the orders of Lord Anlan, the warrant is here, can you send ten warriors, archers and hunters to help us exterminate the Shadow Wolf together?" ”
What Zhao Xi didn't expect was that this should be a small request in his opinion, and the fat mayor actually showed a look of embarrassment-
Thanks for the reward of two 1888 starting coins recorded as an empty friend! (To be continued......)
