Chapter Eighty-Five: The Second Mission
"Captain, go back and rest first." Mu Lan saw that Shi Zhengyang's eyes were a little red, so she said: "Don't be in a hurry at this time, Oak Town is indeed too far away from the royal capital, this is another backward place similar to the European Middle Ages, and the transmission of information has seriously lagged behind. ”
Shi Zhengyang waved his hand and said indifferently: "It's just one night, it's nothing for an internal strength cultivator." ”
Mu Lan saw that he was just sitting cross-legged and doing exercises, and did not return to the room to make up for sleep, so she no longer persuaded him, but took Lin Yiyi, who loved to join in the fun, to the mercenary association.
The Mercenary Guild is a loose organization on the mainland that is not affiliated with a certain political force, and basically every larger city in each country will set up a chapter, and employers can post tasks in the association and set a certain amount of commission to attract mercenaries to complete these entrusted tasks.
Rock-solid was mistaken for a mercenary group by the villagers, because only the mercenary group that licked blood from the knife edge dared to walk in the wilderness, and most of them had extraordinary powers similar to magic, and they used the mercenary group as an excuse in their later communication with Julian.
It's just that they are fake mercenary groups, Lin Yiyi is very curious about the real mercenaries, and when she came to the door of the mercenary association, she kept staring at the people coming in and out.
"Be careful, people think you're here to provoke." Mu Lan pinched Lin Yiyi's arm.
"Got it." Lin Yiyi nodded, then looked at the tattered bar in front of her and said, "Is this the so-called mercenary association?" ”
The mercenary association in Oak Town also has no cards, it is a small bar, and there are some commission notices pasted on the wooden board in front of the door, Mu Lan glanced at it roughly, some commissioned to find some kind of magic materials, some are used as bodyguards to escort the caravan, and some are strange, such as helping to find a lost dog, or participating in a duel for herself......
Ignoring these worthless, the middle of the plank was the goal of Mu Lan's trip, the notice worth 20 gold coins that was jointly commissioned by multiple hunter families.
"Our family is missing in the Lagon Forest!"
"The first hunter, George, entered the forest fifteen days ago, but the old hunter who had been hunting for half his life never returned, followed by John, Brown, Ronald, Arthur, ......"
"Someone heard a voice coming from the forest of Ragon, very strange and infiltrating."
"Help us find our loved ones, even if it's a corpse ......"
After Mu Lan finished browsing the content of this commission, her brows jumped, because the task prompt suddenly sounded.
[Main Quest: Investigate the secrets of the Ragon Forest and reward 600 evolution points for completion.] 】
"Huh!" Lin Yiyi exclaimed, "Did you accidentally trigger the main quest?" ”
Mu Lan shook her head again and again, "I'm afraid it's not an accident." ”
Lin Yiyi was puzzled: "Why? Isn't it a coincidence that we came to Oaktown to learn about the rumors of the Ragon Forest? ”
Mu Lan didn't answer, because now she can't answer Lin Yiyi's question, the main god is not a mechanical system, it always has a useful intention every time it is a task prompt, but now she can't find the connection between it.
The quest prompt must have been received by the other teammates as well, and regardless of how this relates to the future main quest, they will definitely have to make a trip to the Ragon Forest.
On the third day of arriving in Oak Town, the group of five plus three newcomers and six Julian gathered in front of the inn, and after some repairs, the group of fourteen was ready to go to the Lagon Forest.
Julian's guard respectfully brought a horse, Julian smiled and nodded, then looked at Shi Zhengyang and said, "I also have eight horses for you, so that the speed of the journey will be faster." ”
"Thank you." Shi Zhengyang looked at those bantams, there shouldn't be any good horses to buy in this place, this kind of bantam is actually more suitable for consignment, and then he chose a taller horse himself, and said to the others: "Do you all know how to ride horses?" ”
This stopped Mu Lan, she didn't know how to ride a horse, let alone ride a horse, she hadn't even seen a real horse a few times, and she suddenly felt a little speechless.
"Yes!" Zhao Ziyu brought a bantam horse with spots, and felt that it was very suitable for the eyes, and then stepped on the pedals and turned over the horse neatly, "In the capital, my family has a lot of horse farms, and I am a senior member of the equestrian club." ”
Looking at Zhao Ziyu's majestic appearance of pulling up the reins, Lin Yiyi sighed: "It is worthy of being the young master Zhao in the capital, and he is playing advanced." After saying that, she pulled out a mare and touched the horse's back, and the mare, who was afraid of life, stabilized her mood and looked like she could ride a horse.
I didn't expect these two people to ride horses, Mu Lan was a little embarrassed, Shen Wei had ridden a horse in the newcomer, and the rest of Zhang Hongzhuo was as unfamiliar with horses as her, Xu Lei was even more exaggerated, she didn't even dare to get close to the bantam, and the bantam sneezed suddenly and scared her to hide far away.
"Actually, it's not that hard to ride a horse." Julian brought a batch of docile mares for Mu Lan, and he said with a smile: "This kind of bantam does not have the fierceness of a war horse, as long as you are familiar with your existence, you will be allowed to ride on your back." ”
Mu Lan is just relatively unfamiliar with horses, not afraid of this animal, she followed Lin Yiyi's example to stroke the mare's back, the eyes of this bantam horse looked at herself, the big wet eyes were very good-looking, Mu Lan suddenly became curious about horseback riding.
After "communicating" with the mare, Mu Lan successfully stepped into the saddle, and the drama spirit Lin Yiyi also applauded in celebration.
Seeing this, Zhang Hongzhuo also learned the same, and after some tossing, he finally learned the basic operation of driving a bantam horse, but Xu Lei still stood far away, and whispered to Shi Zhengyang, "Captain, can you not ride a horse, I'm a little afraid of this thing......"
Xu Lei spoke coquettishly, blinked her eyes twice and looked at Shi Zhengyang with a pitiful appearance, "It's the same for us to walk......
Shi Zhengyang refused without pity: "No, it's about the main quest, how can you waste time, if you don't want to ride a horse and stay in Oak Town, I don't think the other two teams will be able to find this place in a short time." ”
Xu Lei waved her hand again and again, "Don't, don't." "In the end, I am still afraid of being left alone in this remote town, the tide of Warcraft a few days ago brought a big shadow to her, and I feel that it is safer to follow the team.
Everyone stayed in front of the hotel for a while, and with Julian's guidance, they finally barely learned to ride, but when no one was paying attention, Xu Lei secretly complained, and looked at the team with a little resentment.
Zhang Hongzhuo, who was next to Xu Lei, hurriedly gave her a look, and whispered: "My sister, don't offend these people, this copy still depends on them to survive, put away your eyes, don't bother me, what if they leave all the newcomers behind." ”
