Chapter 0117: A New Challenge
Fine sweat fragrant jade body, trickling dew dripping peony heart.
404 Warning!
Before dawn, Enisa got up. She lit the oil lamp at the bedside in the dark, and wore clothes and armor.
Zhou Qingfeng slept in a daze, looked up at the outside of the house, and asked in surprise, "Why did you get up so early?" Don't sleep much? β
"I'm used to it, it's so early every day." Inisha put on her boots, put on her coat, and grabbed the long knife and helmet on the desk, "I'm like this in Flame Village, I wake up before dawn, ride a horse to patrol, practice fighting, and deal with affairs. β
"And now?"
"yes, there's more to do now." Inisha turned around and smiled, and sighed lightly, "Victor, I actually didn't want to be with you. But my retainers said that I must have a descendant.
I was going to find Schroeder because I thought the guy was in control. But that brute was killed by you, so I can only look for you.
Don't worry, I won't pester you, and I don't want to rely on men to survive. As the illegitimate daughter of Frederick XIII of the Duchy of Os, I have enjoyed the glory bestowed by the Duchy and the family, and I have the obligation to continue the duchy and the family for future generations.
I thought you'd act like a chick who didn't know anything, but I didn't have any experience with that. But on the contrary, you surprise me, maybe you really have dragon blood. If it weren't for the young age, I would have wanted you to propose to me.
But it's good now, we don't interfere with each other, so we don't have too much pressure. β
When Inisha finished speaking, her pretty face was red and her cheeks were hot, and she turned and left the house.
Leaving Uncle Zhou lying on the bed in a daze.
After dawn, Zhou Qingfeng led a team to the plaster village. When they left the village, flames broke out outside the village, and the bodies of the dead and wounded in the battle were reduced to ashes in the firelight. The crowd rode by, all in silenceβit was painful to die before victory.
The horses marched quickly and arrived at the stucco village at noon.
The village has become a dead domain, and all the villagers are dead.
Traces of the blood sacrifice are still there, at least hundreds of corpses are lying next to the remaining pools of blood in the village.
According to the unified caliber of Zhou Qingfeng and Tambos, the decisive battle with the Bann Church took place here. This is also the meeting point with Mr. Tambos.
When Zhou Qingfeng and the others arrived, a team had already appeared here. Tambos and other apprentices greeted them and shouted to their respective division commanders - it was a group of people with indifferent faces, indifferent to Tambos, and even more ignorant to Zhou Qingfeng and the others.
The team mainly inspected the scene of the blood sacrifice and then carefully inquired about various details about the battle against the Cult of the Evil God. As for Zhou Qingfeng and the others, they didn't care at all.
Although this is less troublesome, Zhou Qingfeng feels that those strong people are too rude and too negligent. They don't care about the truth of the incident, they are only interested in the destruction of the Cult of the Evil God and the elven ruins.
"Don't be angry." Inisha approached Zhou Qingfeng and said in a low voice: "This world emphasizes hierarchy so much, and the upper level will not easily come into contact with the lower level. I was the same back then, and I had never even seen what it was like to be poor. β
"So they don't care what the people down there are doing, do they?"
"Yes. The same is true of the Black Forest, where adventurers never care if they live or die, or even speak to them. This is determined by strength. It's just you, you actually pulled a team out of the untouchables. β
Inisa's words revealed the cold and cruel side of this world, and she also deliberately said: "Victor, you'd better hide your skeleton warhorse and elven maid. Those guys have a fancy for it, and maybe they'll come and grab it.
In fact, if you insist on going to Coldwind City, you will definitely get into trouble. The powerful in the city will be xenophobic, and the higher authorities will feel that you are not entitled to this. Only we in the Black Forest don't have many rules, but only recognize strength and don't care much about identity. β
What a fucking world!
Fabro and his party spent two hours in the stucco village before being tricked by Tambos into going to the elven ruins. Zhou Qingfeng cleaned up the corpse pile in the village and found Sophia's body. The little girl's soul secretly cried in his head.
Another fire.
The whole village will be rebuilt again after the destruction. There is no shortage of people, and there are always bankrupt poor people who come to the Black Forest to make a living. But this is an ominous place.
When Zhou Qingfeng's feet set foot on the boundary of the Grey Village, his second mission was completed - to save the poor people of the Black Forest as much as possible until fifteen human settlements were liberated.
Because Zhou Qingfeng organized a 'coalition army' to resolutely resist, the casualties caused by the Bann Church were confined to two or three villages. The humans of the Black Forest lost less than five hundred people, and there are just over two thousand left.
The 'Mission Complete' logo lights up on the virtual screen and the rating is 'Perfect'.
Under normal circumstances, it is good for a rescuer to be able to save half of the human settlements in a scattered situation. But Zhou Qingfeng really turned the whole situation upside down, defeating the seemingly invincible enemy.
The task reward is maximized, first of all, Zhou Qingfeng's level is raised to level three. Of the four attributes, Strength gains one point increase. According to the rules, this increased Zhou Qingfeng's strength by thirty percent, which was quite high. His physique is much stronger than that of the average person.
If you count the 'war trampling', Zhou Qingfeng can compete with the boxing champion in a short period of time - with a time limit of three seconds.
After moving up one level, Zhou Qingfeng can choose to acquire new skills. But he was stunned to find that the task he had completed this time was very special, and it was a perfect victory in the stage. Coupled with the 'Tyrant' perk, a perfect stage victory can earn additional rewards.
'Detected that the chosen person has a Temporal Artifact, it is recommended to abandon the selection of a new skill and activate the Temporal Artifact. β
What space-time curiosity?
A thumbnail appeared under the text description on the virtual screen, which was clearly an old-fashioned black-and-white TV set that Zhou Qingfeng got from a succubus merchant. Is this thing really coming from an unusual source?
Without too much hesitation, Zhou Qingfeng chose to give up his new skills and activate the strange objects of time and space.
The black-and-white TV originally existed in the information network in Zhou Qingfeng's mind. When activated, its antenna automatically stretches out, rotates and position, and snowflakes appear on the pitch-black spherical screen.
Sophia in her mind was startled, and hurriedly asked, "Brother, what's going on?" β
Time and Space TV: You can travel to the world you have been to, and spend soul crystals during your stay.
Seeing this description, Zhou Qingfeng was inexplicably surprised. He remained silent for the time being, continued to arrange affairs in the Grey Village, and after he was done, he led the leaders and guards in the direction of the Magru tribe, pointing out the specific location of the elven ruins in the mountains of the Black Forest.
Residential area, temple area, cemetery area, barracks area, work area, central area. Zhou Qingfeng cooperated with the map and pointed out each area of the site in detail.
"Mr. Tambos' gang is missing, but they don't know more than we do.
Silver Leaf City has no walls, and all of its buildings are in the forest. The city has a large distribution area, but the central location is very recognizable, which is the thousand-year-old tree in the central area.
Silver Leaf City sank into the ground, but the Elven Ancient Tree couldn't sink it. Elves can only use high-level illusions to disguise ancient trees. You see the lonely protruding hill in front of you, which is the entrance to the entire dungeon, the hidden Elven Ancient Tree.
If the elves return one day, they will awaken the ancient trees and return the city to the surface. If we want to enter the underground ruins, we will either have to dig up the entire turf or break the illusionary camouflage of the elves. β
At this point, Zhou Qingfeng changed the topic and said: "If you want to go to the central area, you must go deep into this jungle and get rid of the Maglu tribe." Unlike our previous resistance to the goblin invasion, this time we took the initiative to enter the goblin territory. β
Zhou Qingfeng took the leaders of various families, Inisha and others. Everyone stood on the dirt slope of a black forest, looking out at the vast stretch of mountains and jungles in front of them.
The twisted jungle is gloomy and dark, and this area of goblin life is more dangerous than the human-inhabited settlements. There are not only hundreds of thousands of goblins inside, but also other inexplicable monsters living in it.
Like lizardmen, kobolds and the like. It's not unusual to jump out of a few ogres.
"Okay, what do you guys think?" After Zhou Qingfeng finished speaking, he turned back to ask.
Everyone turned their heads and discussed with each other. From the excitement at the beginning, to the hesitation and doubt, everyone quickly recognized the reality - exploring the ruins of Silver Leaf City is really not a simple matter. The news spreads that a large number of adventurers will come to explore.
"Guys, let's go back first." Zhou Qingfeng beckoned, "No matter what happens in the future, the most important thing now is to restore the damage caused by the war. The boardwalk has been reopened and we have a lot to do. β
Unable to eat hot tofu in a hurry, everyone had no objection to this, and they all returned to the plaster village with a heavy heart. The village was defiled because of the blood sacrifices, and the burning fires had to burn for several days.
Everyone can only set up a temporary tent outside the village, eat some dry food with them, and rest early.
Zhou Qingfeng originally wanted to see if Inisha would come back at night, but the eldest sister ignored him. He could only keep a vigil outside the tent and get into his sleeping bag and fall asleep.
Information network, space of consciousness.
"Sophia, where is that black and white TV? I might have found a treasure. β
