In Preston, the D-class plane to which the Layton City Sanctuary belongs, Baron Anlan is waiting quietly in the council chamber.

To everyone's surprise, Baron Anlan is actually a noble lady who still has charm, about forty years old, although the exquisite makeup can't hide the wrinkles at the corners of the eyes, but still retains a bit of beauty and touching when he was young, and his temperament is even more graceful and noble.

To the right and left of the baroness sat a handsome young man and a girl of sixteen or seventeen, and a gray-haired old butler stood behind her.

"Welcome, warriors from the Templars!"

Seeing Locke bring Zhao Xi and the others in, Baron Anlan immediately stood up to greet him, with a joyful smile on his face: "We, the Preston Lord, are looking forward to the support of the Templar!" ”

Her smile was very sincere, but Zhao Xi could see that there was still a lingering look of anxiety in the other party's eyes, presumably the situation of Preston Ling must be very bad.

"Prepare for the glory knight, Zhao Daniu, the captain of the Raised Eyebrows clan, has seen Lord Lord!"

Zhao Xi immediately stepped forward and saluted: "On the orders of Lord Goethe of the Templar, we have come to help Preston deal with the evil vampires, and it is our duty and responsibility to destroy heretics!" ”

These words Zhao Xi said sonorously and powerfully, and his calm voice echoed in the conference hall!

Is this acting?

Ye Qianqian, who was following behind Zhao Xi, couldn't help but roll her eyes, Li Shuai, the Ye family brothers and others also showed a hint of disapproval, they all felt that the dialogue between Zhao Xi and Baron An Lan was really funny, although the plot mission was different from the ordinary mission. NPCs have a high AI, but they don't have to do that to that extent, right?

But the expressions of Locke and Baron Anlan changed, and there was more respect in their eyes when they looked at Zhao Xi, and the latter returned the salute: "I believe that you will be able to do it, and Lord Preston will always remember your help!" ”

Zhao Xi smiled faintly, he showed his identity as a knight of glory, and it really had an effect, offsetting the bad influence he had on Locke because of his low level.

If you want to complete this mission, Preston's official strength is indispensable, but your own side must not be underestimated by the other party. Otherwise, it is easy to become cannon fodder.

And earn the respect of the other party. It is the most important prerequisite for ensuring fair cooperation.

Although Zhao Xi has never done plot tasks before, his mind is by no means as rough as his appearance, and through the analysis of those plot task materials, he has a bottom on what he should do and how to do it.

Baron An Lan also introduced Zhao Xi to the people who accompanied her. The handsome man on the left is her eldest son, Victor. The cute girl on the right is the second daughter, Vivian. There is also an old butler, Enzo.

After the introduction, An Lan warmly invited Zhao Xi and the others to sit down, and asked the old housekeeper to bring hot black tea and snacks. The relationship between the two sides has become more harmonious, and the atmosphere in the meeting hall has become more comfortable.

Without Zhao Xi taking the initiative to ask, An Lan couldn't wait to start talking about Preston's current situation.

Whether it is Ye Qianqian or the Ye family brothers, including Li Shuai and An Xiaohai, at this time, they have also seen the name of the hall and understood the intention of Zhao Xi and Baron An Lan to communicate seriously and treat each other sincerely.

Everyone has to admit that this ability to grasp the details of the task is far beyond them!

The D-class plane is the smallest independent plane, and the Preston Territory covers an area of about 1,000 square kilometers, most of which is occupied by forests and mountains, with only the middle part being plains.

There are only 5,500 people in the entire territory, and the entire population is spread across the plains with Blackstone Castle as the core, as well as a dozen or so villages and towns around the castle near the edge of the forest.

Blackstone Castle has a population of about 3,000 and a 150-member escort team, consisting mainly of level 15 to 18 warriors and archers, led by a level 25 paladin Locke.

Although the area of Preston Territory is not large, it is rich in resources, especially rich in various mineral resources, and the number of mines has reached as many as seven.

For hundreds of years, the Preston family has managed the territory, provided a steady supply for the Templar, lived a peaceful and peaceful life, and the monsters of the forest rarely came out to attack the village and its inhabitants.

However, the situation changed two weeks ago, when villages and towns in various places were suddenly attacked by shadow wolves, and the local residents were all injured to varying degrees, and some people disappeared in the attack of the monsters.

Before the Blackstone Castle organized the personnel to clean up the raging shadow wolves, there were traces of vampires in the castle, and five residents were sucked dry of blood and corpses on the streets, making the entire territory panic.

Although Anlan urgently ordered a curfew to track down the vampires and asked the Templar for help, the situation did not improve, and it is said that hunters found vampire lairs while hunting in the mountains!

Two days ago, a copper mine 10 kilometers away from Blackstone Castle was attacked by a large number of shadow wolves again, and the local miners suffered heavy losses, including the nearby town of Dawn, but fortunately Locke and his men rushed over in time to prevent the town from falling into the mouth of the wolves.

However, seeing that the situation is getting worse and worse, the escort led by Locke must first ensure the safety of the castle, and in the case of internal troubles, the support for the surrounding villages and towns is very limited.

Baron Anlan spoke very carefully and spoke for a long time, and after listening quietly, Zhao Xi asked, "Where is the hunter who discovered the vampire's lair now?" ”

This should be the key to the mission, Zhao Xi's mission this time is to eliminate the vampire, if he can go straight to the lair, he may be able to complete the task quickly.

But he didn't think things would be that simple.

Sure enough, I only heard An Lan smile bitterly: "This hunter was seriously injured when he returned to Dawn Town, and he died after telling others the news, so now no one knows where the vampire's lair is, and no one dares to go deep into the forest and mountains anymore." ”

She looked at Zhao Xi as she spoke, with an expectant look in her eyes.

Zhao Xi's heart moved, and he said without hesitation: "Lord Baron, I am willing to lead the team to find the vampire's lair, I hope to get your support!" ”

An Lan hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Excellency, of course I absolutely support you, but this task is too dangerous, so let's not rush in the long run." ”

"Well, let's see if we can help us clear out the Shadow Wolves near Dawn Town first, so that the copper mines can resume mining as soon as possible, as this is important for Preston and the Templar!"

System Prompt: Did you choose to accept the mission to clear the Shadow Wolves?

Objective: Eliminate more than 70% of the Shadow Wolves in the vicinity of Dawn and restore the Copper Mine.

Mission limit: 48 hours of standard time.

Rewards: 100,000 XP points, 2 Plane Prestige points, and 1 Skill Point!

Failure Penalty: -10 Anlan Trust, -20 Locke Trust!

This is a sub-quest of the story quest, which can be refused, but refusal is equivalent to failure, and the consequence of failure is a decrease in the trust of the two important story quests, which will undoubtedly affect the progress of the subsequent quests.

Zhao Xi did not hesitate at all: "Willing to serve the lord!" ”

"Great!"

An Lan smiled happily: "If Your Excellency has any requests, please feel free to say it!" ”

Mention the conditions casually?

Fang Xu and the others, who had been sitting on the side and listening for a long time, suddenly came to their senses, this is to prepay the benefits first!

Everyone's eyes were focused on Zhao Xi.

Zhao Xi said quietly: "I hope that the adult can provide a map of Preston Territory, the more detailed and accurate the better, and I also hope to be able to get a guide who is familiar with the local environment, preferably a hunter." ”

"No problem!" An Lan asked, "Are there any other requirements?" ”

Zhao Xi shook his head: "It's gone!" ”

Gone?

The other members of the Raising Eyebrows team were all taken aback, and even Ye Qianqian's gaze at Zhao Xi was a little strange.

Looking at the appearance of this NPC lord, it is clear that he wants to come up with a lot of benefits, as a professional team, shouldn't he take the opportunity to get some benefits first?

In this way, even if the mission fails, it will not be lost!

Is Zhao Xi too stupid? ――

Thank you for the reward of the novel* life and Vientiane returning friends! (To be continued......)
