Chapter Fifty-Three: Ramford's Mandate!
The four of them immediately returned the way they came, and after a short time, they were back near the teleportation station in the center of New Tristram Town.
"Brother Commander!"
The clear children's voice sounded unusually familiar. Zhou Qi followed the direction from which the voice came from, and saw a little Lori with a double ponytail on the back of her head running towards him with her arms wide open. The corners of his mouth lifted, and he couldn't help but have a smile in his eyes.
"An An?" Xia Ruobing looked at the little Lori who threw herself into Zhou Qi's arms, pursed her lips, and smiled lightly. Unexpectedly, this little guy with a big ghost also joined the mission of the dark world. Huang Yueying was also a burst of sorrow. As a pastor, she was pretty good at this little peer.
"Little girl, why are you here too, Uncle Deng?" Zhou Qi gently hugged Little Lori's shoulders, gently rubbed the top of her head, and asked in a harmonious voice.
"The commander's brother bullies people, where is the family small."
An An rubbed Zhou Qi's chest, and then let go of his arm and landed lightly on the ground. The big black eyes glanced left and right, and then raised his head to look at Zhou Qi.
"Brother Commander, why is it only you and Sister Xia, Sister Huang and Brother Fat Paper are here, Uncle Fu and the big man?" An An spoke quickly and quickly, but his voice was clear and crisp and unspeakably pleasant.
"Commander, haha, we're meeting again." Zhou Qi didn't say anything yet, but he saw that Deng Hengming had already walked over from the direction of the teleportation station with a smile, followed by a woman, three men and four contractors.
"Uncle Deng, don't be so polite, just call me Zhou Qi. Why did you come at this time? ”
"Well, we're ashamed to say that we were teleported to the Southern Highlands after entering the mission. The side quest hints that we can clear the Moon Cavern and destroy the altar of the Tritheism. There's also the repair of the teleportation station that leads from there to New Tristram. If it weren't for An An's cleverness, he would have discovered the location of the teleportation station. I'm afraid we're still stuck there by the sheep-headed people of the Tritheistic Cult. ”
Deng Hengming's tone was flat, and it was not difficult to see from the lingering palpitations in his eyes that he was afraid that he had encountered some danger before.
Zhou Qi's heart moved slightly, it seemed that he was right, the branch tasks of each team were really different. It's no wonder that in a huge rotten wood forest, you can't even touch the rest of the contractors.
"There's the Cattle Slaughter Hotel ahead, it's best to settle down there first, I guess there's a good chance that the next mission will appear in New Tristram." After a short greeting, Zhou Qi's face turned straight, looked at Deng Hengming and said in a deep voice.
Deng Hengming's expression was grim, and he gave Zhou Qi a grateful look and nodded solemnly. Judging by the amazing performance of the young commander in front of him in the battlefield mission. What he says is generally not wrong.
As the saying goes, the words are not sweet, and the glue is not sticky. Some of the words are on point. Zhou Qi saw Deng Hengming's reaction and knew that he had already listened to his words, so he didn't say more. Then he turned his head to look at An An.
"You pay Uncle Fu, they're in the Cattle Slaughter Hotel. You and Uncle Deng go over first, and Sister Xia and I will come to the hotel to find you after finishing our business. ”
An An heard that Zhou Qi was not traveling with him, and he was about to leave. Suddenly, he pouted, and he didn't look high. "Shouldn't they be in the hotel with Sister Xia? It's really ......" The little girl muttered in her mouth, stretched out her hand and tugged at Deng Hengming's sleeve, looking angry, and walked forward.
Eh, Zhou Qi is embarrassed. Today's children know so much......
Seeing the backs of Deng Hengming and An An far away. Zhou Qi turned around and saw that Xia Ruobing and Huang Yueying's faces were stained with red glow. Obviously thundered by the little girl's words. He glanced at the fat man who was snickering. He then walked towards the guards who were on duty outside the teleportation station.
When the guard saw a group of adventurers walking towards him, his face remained unchanged, but he instinctively tightened the spear in his hand, looking very elite and sophisticated.
"I'm Zhou Qi, an adventurer from the East, and I want to take the liberty of asking you for a message." Zhou Qi's hands naturally opened, divided the two sides, and stopped when he reached two meters in front of the guard. With a smile on his face, he looked harmless to humans and animals.
"Hello, adventurer from the East, I'm Guard Laures. If you're looking for news, maybe the Cattle Slaughter Hotel would be a better choice. ”
"No, no, those drunkards are nothing but talking about treasures and women. I just want to know from you if any adventurers and mercenaries have been to the Spider Cave recently. Also, are there any of the people who have been there who have returned? ”
Lauris's face changed suddenly when he heard this.
"I'm sorry, it's my duty, I can't tell you about the other adventurers."
"You're a dutiful soldier, Guard Laures." Zhou Qi politely bowed slightly, but he didn't stop, turned around and left. Judging by the other party's reaction, he has already got the answer he wants. Nine times out of ten, something is wrong with the cave of the spider queen!
"All the way east is the town gate, and Captain Rumford is there, and maybe he'll be interested in that."
Zhou Qi paused when he heard this, but when he turned around, he saw that Laures had turned his face sideways. It seems that everything just said has nothing to do with him.
"Interesting guy." Zhou Qi smiled slightly, to be able to bring out such a subordinate, it seems that the Captain Ramford is not simple.
Follow the instructions of the guard Laures and follow the slightly muddy road all the way to the gate located directly east of New Tristram. As you see along the way, the town is much bigger than you think. In addition to the bungalows where the townspeople lived, there were also a number of fields on both sides of the road. As the dark grows, perhaps the only safe place is the town.
A moment later, by the flickering light of the fire, the thick walls ahead could be seen in the distance.
Just as Zhou Qi and the others were approaching the city gate a hundred meters, the sound of horses' hooves was heard in their ears, but they saw a tall war horse carrying a knight wearing heavy armor and holding a shield and chain flail running slowly.
When he got near, the knight stopped his horse. A pair of sharp eyes swept towards Zhou Qi and the four of them through the sight hole on the face armor. Seeing that the four of them did not carry any blades, they slowly lowered the chain shackles in their hands.
"Strangers. The road to the cathedral has been blocked. You'd better stay in the city and don't go anywhere. ”
So you can get out of here and go out to the cathedral? Zhou Qi's face remained unchanged, and he was secretly careful. Zhao Daming once said. In the real game, the cathedral contains not only many treasures of Leoric, but also a portal to the royal tomb, the place where Leoric's bones are buried. But I don't know if it's activated in today's mission.
"Hello Your Excellency, I am Zhou Qi, an adventurer from the East, who came here to find Captain Ramford."
"I'm Ramford. Explain your intentions, young adventurer. The knight hung the shackles to the saddle and lifted up his visor, revealing the grim-looking face of a middle-aged man.
"Hello, Honorable Ramford, I would like to know what happened to the mercenaries who recently traveled to the Spider Cave through the teleportation station?" Zhou Qi's heart was racing, and since he was very sure of his guess, he simply went straight to it.
"Stranger, where did you get the news?" Ramford's face changed slightly. His eyes as sharp as a knife looked at Zhou Qi up and down, and asked in a deep voice.
"Priest Malach told me that Lady Miriam had been in the Spider Cave for more than three days, and no news had come back. I guess I'm not the only adventurer in the rush to find Lady Miriam's enchantment. ”
"I'll go, don't support the wall, just serve the head's mouth." In the channel, the fat man couldn't help but spit out. Although Huang Yueying and Xia Ruobing did not speak, they also nodded secretly. Zhou Qi's answer can be described as leaky, quite beautiful.
Ramford was silent for a moment and nodded. Apparently accepted Zhou Qi's statement.
"Every mercenary who goes out through the teleportation station will leave his mark on the Philosopher's Stone. A total of 17 mercenaries have recently been to the Spider Cave. It's just that the marks they left behind are gone. ”
"What about Miss Miriam?" Ramford's answer already proves half of the guess in his heart! Zhou Qi hurriedly asked with a tremor in his heart. The mark disappeared, and although Ramford didn't explain it, the implication was obvious, these mercenaries should all be dead!
"Lady Miriam's mark is still there. Unfortunately, for security reasons, I've ordered the teleportation coordinates of the Spider Cave to be temporarily closed. ”
"Are you planning to give up on rescuing Lady Miriam altogether?" Zhou Qi raised his head and looked directly at Ramford, and asked in a deep voice.
"Of course not! Young people, we will not easily give up on any human living in New Tristram! A horde of dark creatures outside the city is gathering. Circumstances no longer allow me to send more men. Most of the mercenaries I sent out before were commissioned by me to find Miriam. As he spoke, Ramford's sharp, bright eyes darkened. It can be seen that he is carrying a great burden on his heart for the death of those mercenaries.
A ghostly light flashed in Zhou Qi's eyes. Unexpectedly, after some impromptu exploration, I learned two important news! From Ramford's words, it is not difficult to hear that the monsters outside the city are gathered, and nine times out of ten, it is related to the upcoming second phase of the mission. In addition, the most important point is that if you are good at digging, you can get tasks from the aborigines! This is undoubtedly a shortcut to improving the prestige of the team!
And there's such an opportunity right now!
"My Excellency, Dear Ramford, if you don't mind, my friends and I are willing to accept the commission and set out again to find Lady Miriam. An arcister, who has mastered the skills of enchantment, you should know better than I do the danger that new Tristram could come at any time. ”
"I can't refuse your request. As the captain of the guard of New Tristram, I hereby formally entrust you and your companions to search for the whereabouts of Lady Miriam in the Caverns of the Queen Spider. I will send one of my men to accompany you. May the radiance of Akarat bless you with peace. Ramford nodded, and with a lift of his palm, a pale golden holy light rose into the sky. It seems to be sending some kind of signal.
"Contractor No. 5106 triggers a limited-time mission, Rumford's commission. Immediately go to the Spider Cave to find and rescue Miriam, the secret mage, 4 hours in time. Mission Success: Each member of the team will be rewarded with Ramadhiran's gift X1, 200 Blood Rock Fragments, and a permanent increase of 2,000 points in New Tristram's reputation; Failed Mission: Reputation is cleared, and 30 team mission points will be deducted. ”
"Limited-time missions? Team points will be deducted if you fail? Zhou Qi was slightly stunned!
The space is getting more and more bizarre!
