260.Chapter 260: The Crisis That Ensues

In Roddy's memory, "epic quests" are one of the things that PVE players talk about the most.

Although he is a very pure PVP player, most of the time, Roddy will inevitably come into contact with NPC "quests" - because these daily quests can be easily completed, which can provide him with a lot of experience points.

And similar to "daily tasks", "stage tasks", "dungeon tasks", and "wanted tasks", he has not been less in contact with them, and he has checked a lot of information, so for this kind of "epic mission" with dark gold lines, Roddy also understands what it means...

Dangerous.

Difficulty.

Players need to have a strong understanding of the game and overall strength to be able to complete such a difficult task - and most importantly, this kind of mission has many steps and is full of variables, and has a "unique" nature!

Each "epic mission" has only one chance to complete it, and once it is judged, it can no longer be accepted again, and it will disappear forever, and no second person will receive the same task.

In other words, this makes this epic quest called [Judgment of the Throne of Bones] at all have no "strategy" at all!

It was created by the game's system based on time, prestige, and power disparity, and Roddy couldn't find a single sample of missions that resembled it to compare!

The advantage of the reborn was greatly weakened, which made Roddy lose much confidence in his heart in an instant.

But there is a lot of risk, there is a lot of reward - the reason why "Epic Quest" is sought after for research is not because of the perverted difficulty, but because of the rewards that can make countless players salivate: experience points and gold are no longer the point, what is really priceless are those strong "titles", "skills" and "rune inlays", and the rewards obtained after completing stage tasks can completely make the originally mediocre players stand out and become a strong character who changes the direction of game history!

It's definitely an opportunity.

Although this task made Roddy "stressful", it also meant that he really had a chance to rise from mediocrity.

Roddy glanced around and made sure that Sodlore had gone to talk to Steward John, and then walked to the meeting hall with the fireplace and studied the "taskbar" carefully.

Under the simple task description, this "epic quest" has many differences from ordinary quests: except for the dark gold font, it is empty in the "quest clue", which is equivalent to not giving any hints, but there is an extra line underneath: "The duration of the quest at this stage: 150 days." ”

This startled Roddy, but then relieved: the epic quest is difficult to deserve, and 150 days should be a task requirement for the current "first step", not a requirement for the complete quest chain, otherwise Roddy would not have the ability to rush to Tasman to kill Augustine in 5 months, which is not logical.

Looking at the color of the task font, "dark red" means that this task is still "very difficult" for your current level, if you insist on doing it, I am afraid that the difficulty will be doubled on the basis, and you can't rush if you want to rush - so the top priority is to raise your level as soon as possible.

"Augustine... Augustine..."

Roddy frowned and pondered the big boss he would have to deal with sooner or later, carefully recalling what he knew about him before, but before he could figure it out, Sodrore's footsteps sounded in the corridor.

Looking up, the young baron walked in with a serious face, he looked around, made sure that there was no one on either side, and then raised his hand and handed Roddy a letter.

"This isβ€”" By the candlelight, Roddy's already slightly frowning brow tightened even tighter, "The emergency military situation at the border?

"Duke Angmar just sent it," Sodlorre sat in the armchair opposite Roddy, stretched out his hand to loosen the leather armor straps tightened by the battle, and exhaled, "Said a sighting report on the western frontier a week ago. ”

"Western..."

Luo Di stretched out his hand and opened the red envelope in his hand, this color represents "military emergency", it is the kind of urgent information that needs to be sent to the duke in person quickly, his eyes hurriedly swept over the handwriting on it, and Luo Di's eyes suddenly narrowed.

"There are traces of orc wolf cavalry? That place seems to be the closest to Rohar's Hammer territory, how long has it been? Are they recovering too quickly?"

Roddy immediately called out the "map", and the "map" bar that comes with his own system was originally useless, because the areas that the player had not explored were not displayed on the map, and the "Ivota Territory" on it was basically white before, and there was no reference value at all, but after seeing the detailed map contributed by Ansadine, Roddy's "map" column automatically updated the content on it, so that now he can view it directly in front of his eyes-

On a densely marked map, Roddy's gaze fell on the western part of Ivta... This somewhat deserted area is not bordered by the Nehemian savannahs like the village of Nolan in the northwest, but it is in a unique location, with the black mountains of the Tasman kingdom on one side, a forest extending from the edge of the Nehemian savannah on the other, and several villages in the Ivota territory in the back, in an awkward "three-sided" zone.

Roddy's eyebrows furrowed as he saw a familiar word in the area: "Elson."

This was one of Ansardine's original markings, why did the orcs also appear here?

The letter was delivered from a sentry called "Sora", located about seventy or eighty kilometers away from "Elson", isolated by a large wasteland and forest, presumably a guard set up by the Duke of Angmar after hearing about the "orc crisis" he described.

According to history, the "Sora" sentry has never appeared, and the orcs have never been seen in the western part of the kingdom in known history... What's going on with all this? Is it all down to the "butterfly effect" that it has generated?

"The location of the Sola Sentry is too remote, so it took six days for the information to reach Hollier City, and the Duke changed hands and sent the original to us... What does that meanβ€”"

Sodrol whispered the meaning of all this, his fingers tapping regularly on the solid wood handrail, "He's going to put us in charge?"

"The orcs were killed by us, so we must know the situation of the orcs best, and Angmar threw it over, I should just want to wait for you and me to give some analysis. ”

Roddy put away the fiery red letter, "It's definitely impossible to be in charge of this matter, how many people are there in total? He should worry about the real matter of defending the territory, we will fulfill our obligations by providing a plan, and it is difficult for a strong man to do more." ”

"But I think Steward John means... It seems more urgent. ”

"He's just a housekeeper, and a housekeeper will only be eager to help his master, and he can't worry about the territory," Roddy opened his eyes and looked at Sodroll, "We don't have to think about everyone's feelings, someone has expectations for us, it doesn't mean that we have to work hard according to other people's ideas." ”

Sodrore pondered for a few seconds, nodded, and said no more.

"There's no point in living in other people's expectations, and I have a sense of proportion in that. Roddy didn't say much, the current Sodrore was still in his formative years, and although the "good old man" sounded good, he could never be "on his own" - if Sodrore wanted to become the most powerful sword, the first thing he had to learn was to "refuse" those requests that seemed reasonable, but in fact did not mean much.

"To be honest, in half a year, I didn't expect that I would come this far, so sometimes I don't think it through..."

Sodrore quickly understood what Roddy meant, and there was some shame in his words.

"I didn't mean to accuse you," Luo Di didn't expect this guy to be quite thin-skinned, and said with a smile: "Everyone has limited energy, no one can do everything, no matter what kind of nobleman you become in the future, you should understand what you want to do, of course, you must also keep in mind... You are not living in my expectations, I help you because I hope that you and I will share the same goals and work towards them, not as a tool to use. ”

This sentence seemed to make Sodrol open some knots, his face that had been tense eased a lot, he slowly exhaled, and said a little tiredly: "I have too much power all of a sudden, and I am always afraid that I will do something wrong, so I am cautious and cautious, but I find that I think too much about many things." ”

"It's only right to have such a process. ”

It was the first time in a long time that Roddy had spoken to Sodrore in such depth - he could feel Sodrore's caution and what he had in his heart: strong self-control, fairness and justice, and it was no accident that he was able to break through the 60-level barrier in history.

After a brief conversation, Roddy stopped talking and got up to go back to the house, leaving Sodrol in the living room in a daze, and when he walked up to the second floor, Roddy found Suren pacing back and forth there.

"What are you doing?"

Roddy's words startled Suren, who stood still, opening his mouth to say something, but he couldn't form words when the words came to his mouth - he had just witnessed the "Wolverine Mercenary Regiment" being crushed by the Duke's Guard, so he had a clearer understanding of Roddy's identity.

In other words, he suddenly felt his status with Roddy... The gap is too big.

"Status" is an invisible pressure, even if Luo Di reined in the momentum of his whole body, no different from an ordinary passerby, it also made Su Lun feel nervous and embarrassed.

"That, that... I want to talk about the bracersβ€”" Su Lun reached out and wiped the sweat that had broken out from the nervousness, and then stumbled and said, "I think your method of making it - may, it may be a waste of materials..."

As soon as the words came out, Su Lun regretted it, which of those nobles in his impression was not moody?

It's just that he didn't expect that Roddy was only slightly stunned, and then responded with a smile: "Oh, I'm going to Hollier City tomorrow, and the leather armor should be brought over there to be made, and you may need your help along the way, if you can... Come in and talk?"

He pushed the door and walked into the study, Su Lun breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart... Roddy: Is this ready for himself to take over the manufacturing of equipment?

However, the wails of those mercenaries echoed in his mind, Su Lun's performance was still cautious, and even his gaze was much more restrained, Roddy didn't talk nonsense, reached out and picked up the finished bracer from under a large pile of leather, and handed it to Su Lun - "This is what I did before, do you see if there is anything that needs to be improved?"
