Chapter 12: A Conclave in the Tavern

It wasn't until a few men had finished their food that the mayor and the captain of the guards returned, and the old man's face was filled with deep worry, and although the captain had a straight back, there was no smile on his face. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"How? You okay? Lorcan asked aloud as he picked his teeth.

The old mayor barely managed to squeeze out a smile: "Yes, although there are a few zombies roaming outside the city, they don't pose much of a threat for the time being. ”

"Then don't be sad." Lorcan said and stood up and patted the mayor on the shoulder, and walked out with a big burp, several of his subordinates also immediately stood up and followed, Yi Xuan was the last to get up, and when he went out, he turned around and took a look, Mayor Dika and the captain of the guard were frowning and whispering about something, it seemed that they were more worried about the situation in front of them than these mercenaries.

In any case, in the next two days, there were still zombies gathering around the town, but these zombies were like headless flies, just wandering around the town, and did not take any offensive means, the mayor and the captain of the guards seemed to be very nervous about this situation, and increased the guards and shifts guarding the city, but because they were afraid that the other party would ambush outside the city, they did not dare to go out of the city to kill monsters.

In this way, the people of the mercenary group will be useless, dangling around the town every day, Yi Xuan is also happy to be idle, and he began to collect all kinds of information during this time, first of all, Yi Xuan turned the whole town around, trying to find one or two familiar NPs but it was in vain, except for some old and weak people in the town who couldn't walk, most of the people had already evacuated, even if there was a famous NPC Yi Xuan, there was no trace.

Not only the townspeople, Yi Xuan found that the NPCL in some shops and blacksmith shops was also missing, it seems that the town is no longer functioning normally, if the Knights of Light do not arrive after three days, even if the people of the dark camp do not attack the city, the people in the city will not live long.

After visiting the town, Yi Xuan, who had found nothing, began to develop the only little resources, and had a good relationship with a few people from the Falcon Mercenary Group, these men lived a life of licking blood from the knife edge one by one, so they were more than advocating force, since Yi Xuan was the 'hero' who killed the death knight, they naturally respected Yi Xuan, so after a day or two, Yi Xuan also learned a lot of all kinds of information about this world from their mouths, but this information was relatively scattered, It's basically analyzed through the previous mission process that they bragged about when they were in the mountains, so it's not very systematic, and these mercenaries have limited knowledge, so it sounds like their activity map is not very large, so if you want to know more, you may have to learn from other sources in the future.

According to the available information, Yi Xuan is first sure that this world is neither the World of Warcraft nor the world of Diablo, according to the events, characters and places where the events they said, Yi Xuan has already associated several different games, but for the time being, it seems that they do not account for a large proportion.

So it seems that this should be a world reorganized by various games, which is in line with the character of the hodgepodge of death arcade halls, and the game consoles on the first floor of them are also of any type, simple to shooting, practical to racing, complex to computer games, almost all-inclusive, although Yi Xuan has always been a relatively single game, but every day immersed in it, other games also know some, so he guessed that this second floor should be a collection of all kinds of computer games, as for other game elements, In the future, I guess I will encounter more and more

Since this game can't be treated as a game, some of the game knowledge that Yi Xuan remembered before may not make sense here, so Yi Xuan feels that it is best not to be too preconceived

However, although there are many game elements, the gang in this world is very simple, Yi Xuan has already understood it before, one is the bright camp that represents justice, and the corresponding is the dark camp, they each have many heroes in different games, these mercenaries don't know much, but the Baron Rivendell that Yi Xuan met before is also a big h6 in this place.

The two camps are not only different in name, but the relationship between them is simply incompatible, the light camp certainly thinks that the people in the dark camp are evil, and the dark camp also rebukes the people in the light camp for hypocrisy. Because of the contradictory ideas and attributes, the two sides fight each other all year round, which is similar to the battle between the World of Warcraft Alliance and the Horde, but the darkness and light here are more obvious.

The neutral camp is the product of the perennial war between these two camps, most of the people in these neutral camps are some civilians, or people who do not have such extreme beliefs, they advocate freedom, but later there are also some speculators, such as the team of falcon mercenaries followed by Yi Xuan, who take on some small tasks from the two factions to earn remuneration, because there are no gangs and beliefs, so it is not any moral burden for them to help whether it is light or dark.

In this way, the neutral camp has slowly grown up and become the third force in the world, but the neutral camp is sandwiched between the two, and its strength is relatively weak.

Light and darkness, as the main contradiction in this world, have a relatively ambiguous attitude towards the neutral camp, and because of the balance relationship, neither the light camp nor the dark camp dare to push the neutral camp to the opposite side, so although the strength of the neutral camp is not strong, and it has not formed a scale, it can also maintain ** autonomy.

But it's just ** autonomy, because the people in the neutral camp do not have a unified leadership and go their own way, so it is a little difficult to develop their own territorial strength like the two camps of light and darkness, Yi Xuan gradually regretted his choice after learning this information, it seems that this so-called neutral camp is actually to put it bluntly, it means Shan Yu, although he joined a so-called mercenary group, but after a few days of getting along, Yi Xuan has already understood that these people have no strength at all, It's just a little clever to make a living, and I knew that I should have taken on two tasks in time.

While chatting with the people of the mercenary group, Yi Xuan also seized every opportunity to create an opportunity to contact Deccakane, as a famous NP and the only sage here, he should know a lot more information than those puppets in the mercenary team, right?

It's a pity that this Decca Kane is also polite to him, but this politeness is only maintained in basic etiquette, and most of it is also because of the relationship between the mercenary team now, but behind the politeness is strict and cautious, Yi Xuan and him for two days, this old man didn't say a word about the superfluous things, obviously because of the relationship between the camp, this old man still didn't trust Yi Xuan very much, which made Yi Xuan's heart more frustrated, thinking that if he had chosen the bright camp at the beginning, the treatment should be completely different.

Yi Xuan was busy, and before he knew it, two days had passed, and their task was to guard the city for three days, and now it seemed that there was still one day before this task was completed so easily and happily, but Yi Xuan was not very relaxed in his heart, because he knew that this was probably the calm before the storm.

Although Tristram has strengthened the guards, and these guards seem to be very nervous, but the outside of the city has been calm for the past two days, but the number of undead outside the city is gathering more and more, starting with three or two kittens, and gradually growing to hundreds.

When Yi Xuan was fine, he also went up to the city wall to take a look, and found that the ones that appeared were basically low-level undead, skeletons, zombies or something, wandering aimlessly outside the city.

Speaking of which, this is all thanks to Yi Xuan for killing the death knight before entering the city, without the leadership of a high-ranking person, these undead did not know to attack, so at least for the time being, the town is safe.

However, there are so many of them, but they have also invisibly become a hidden danger, Yi Xuan feels that the people in the dark camp should not be so easy to give up, and a more fierce battle is likely to start in the next two days, and if you want to mobilize these undead, it is estimated that the other party will send other leaders over, it is another death knight? Or is Rivendell in person?

"Don't worry, these things can't make any waves." Luo Ken's rough voice suddenly sounded behind Yi Xuan, startling Yi Xuan, because he was so focused on the zombies below, Yi Xuan didn't notice that someone had come behind him.

Looking back, Lorcan squinted his eyes and looked at a large number of zombies under the city with interest, this is rare, the seven or eight people who defended the city in the mercenary team in the past two days have basically been assigned to the seven or eight public faces np He and Lorcan, Rogge and a few people have no task of defending the city at all, these two days are basically a state of eating and sleeping, sleeping and eating, I don't know why I am suddenly so active today, and I actually came to the city wall, is it a conscience discovery?

Although Lorcan said that the undead below should not be feared, the residents of the city did not seem to think so, and the atmosphere in the whole town became more and more depressing, and the residents of the city were all full of sadness.

Not only these residents, but Yi Xuan also began to instinctively feel that danger was approaching, because this world is different from the world he lives in, and there are infinite possibilities for everything in the place where he lives.

But this is the game world, and everything happens and develops according to certain laws, since the task they have received now says that they should defend for three days, it is normally impossible to let them spend these three days safely, although Yi Xuan has killed the death knight by mistake, but the people in the dark camp will definitely take other methods.

And generally speaking, the defensive tasks similar to the current situation in the game are not smooth sailing, although everything has been calm in the past two days, but the enemy is likely to launch a strong attack at the last moment, and even if the dark camp no longer attacks, it is also a question whether to turn his face with Tristram after three days, he has always been a little uneasy about Loken, although on the surface it seems to be five big and three rough, but the occasional cleverness and treachery still left a deep impression on Yi Xuan, so he has always been not very at ease with the other party, especially today, Lorcan's expression on the city wall, it seems that he is not worried about the siege of the city at all, and even has a little bit of a bamboo in his chest, with his understanding of Lorcan's strength, it should be impossible for the other party to have such confidence

As the sun rose into the sky on the third day, Yi Xuan's heart became more and more tense, and how things developed depends on today.

The day was still calm, the sky slowly darkened, and if he stayed up for a few more hours, the three-day task of defending the city would be over, Yi Xuan's heart that had been hanging for a day was slightly relieved, and he came to the only tavern in the town.

After arriving at the tavern, he found that the group of Falcon Mercenaries had already been here, and when he saw Yi Xuan coming in, Luo Ken greeted him with a smile: "Hey, I came here so late, aren't you afraid that you won't have dinner?" ”

As he spoke, dinner had been served, and everyone was different in front of him, and in front of Lorcan was a huge clay basin, in which the pork legs had been sticking out, and in the basin was a thick broth.

"Guys, today is the last day, the task is about to be completed, let's eat hard, I'm afraid there is something to do tomorrow." As he spoke, Lorcan reached out and grabbed the pork leg and gnawed it down, and suddenly his face was covered with lard.

The archer Shamia wanted to be much more than Sven, cut a piece of pork from the basin in front of him with a knife and put it on his plate, twitched his somewhat red nose and asked, "Boss, what do you mean?" ”

Lorcan chewed the meat in his mouth, leaned over, and said in a low voice, "Once the mission is handed over tomorrow, our employment relationship with the Light Camp will be completed, and we can continue with other tasks......" Lorcan winked at everyone present.

Yi Xuan's heart trembled, what he was worried about was really coming, Yi Xuan didn't take food from the basin, but asked with some concern: "Other tasks?" Is it referring to 'the destruction of Tristram, that mission?' ”

"But there are a lot of people in the city, there are only a dozen of us, can we do it?" When the archer heard this, he immediately became nervous, and he was afraid of fighting the undead, but he was just as worried about fighting these guards in turn.

Yi Xuan immediately nodded, obviously agreeing with the archer's opinion.

But Luo Ken said with an indifferent look: "Hehe, don't worry about this, you have all seen those militiamen, they are all new soldiers, they have no combat effectiveness at all, and even if there are other accidents, we are not afraid, because we have other help." As he said this, Lorcan bit the pork leg fiercely, looking inexplicably proud.

"Anything else? What is that? Yi Xuan frowned, Luo Ken's concession made him a little annoyed, although it was a game, interests came first, but Luo Ken's naked speculation still made him a little disdainful.

"Rogge, let's talk about it." Lorcan beckoned to the little thief and began to gnaw on his leg intently.

Yi Xuan suddenly set his eyes on Rogge, Luo Ken mentioned this, he remembered, it seems that he has not seen any trace of this little thief in the past two days, Yi Xuan originally thought that he was going to participate in the task of defending the city, but now it seems that he doesn't know what he conspired with Luo Ken.

Na Rog was much more cautious than Lorcan, and did not dare to speak loudly, but looked around mysteriously, and made sure that the tavern owner was preparing the meal in the back, and then whispered to a few people opposite: "Yesterday I quietly went out of the city. ”

"Out of town?" Yi Xuanqi said, his heart said that this is heavily guarded, although it is mainly aimed at the undead outside, but it is not easy to go out without knowing it.

When the thief saw Yi Xuan's strange appearance, he immediately felt a little proud, and said with a smile: "It's not difficult for me to get out of the city. Yi Xuan also suddenly realized in his heart at this time, since he was a thief, he must have the ability to stealth.

Therefore, Yi Xuan stopped speaking, and continued to listen to the thief say: "I met a necromancer outside the city, he is the person sent by the Council of the Dead to take over the implementation of Tristram's destruction plan, according to him, there are more than two hundred zombies outside the city, as long as he gives an order, these undead will immediately become a violent state, as long as we can find an opportunity to open the city gate tomorrow, then the army of the undead will rush in and destroy the entire Tristram." ”
