Chapter 4: Meeting Fario
"Io......" Rezrak couldn't help but grit his teeth when he heard the name Io, but he didn't expect that in the end, it actually went around Io's body again, but the woodcutter also understood that if this thing wanted to succeed, it was indeed inseparable from the help of the elves, and Io's approval would not necessarily make this thing successful, but if Io refused to help, then there would definitely be no elves coming over, looking at the uproar of gold coins in front of him, unable to earn, how heartbreaking it was!
"As long as you can help me get Io successfully, just say as many coins as you want!" Rezrak said.
"I don't need gold, I just want to learn reactive armor!" Li Shi directly put forward his own conditions!
"Reactive armor?!" Rezrak didn't expect Li Shi to put forward such a condition, although the active armor is said to be Rezrak's stunt, but compared to it, a huge amount of money that is about to flow into his hands is still much worse.
For a goblin, the latter is more important, but it is a little unwilling to be taken away by Li Shi for nothing, but the goblin goblin, as the most successful merchant of the guard, also understands the meaning of decisiveness, and has a decision in his heart, immediately took out the scroll of active armor and handed it to Li Shi, saying, "If you want active armor, I can give it to you, but you have to convince Io that I can give it to you as a reward!" If you want to learn it, you'll need my special potion to be able to lift the ban on it and see the content of active armor. β
"Okay, it's a deal!" Li Shi also breathed a long sigh of relief when he saw that the conditions he proposed were accepted by Rezrak, sure enough, for goblins, as long as there are enough benefits, there is nothing that cannot be sold!
Li Shi couldn't get a look at the information of the active armor, so he could only leave Rezrak's logging yard first to find the elven guard Io, this time Ai Ou did not avoid it, but said directly after seeing Li Shi, "Human, have you made Rezrak give up his despicable act of continuing to destroy nature!" β
"I'm sorry, Lord Io, but I didn't let a goblin give up the ability to earn money!" Li Shidao.
"In that case, what are you going to do when you come back!" When Ai heard Li Shi's words, the waves on his body rippled, the light patterns flickered, and he said unhappily, "Could it be that you also plan to help Rezrak persuade me in turn and continue to connive at your destruction of nature!" β
"No, how is that possible!" Li Shi said directly, "Although I didn't ask Rezrak to give up destroying nature, how could I help him continue to destroy nature!" I only gave him Io's sustainability strategy, so that for every tree he felled, he would plant a sapling to accelerate the recovery of nature! β
"Is that really the case?!" When Io heard Li Shi's words, his eyes couldn't help but show a little relief, but immediately Io couldn't believe it and said, "That goblin who wants money to die, would really do such a thing to protect nature?!" β
"That's exactly what I'm worried about!" Li Shi looked at Io and couldn't help but say, "After all, goblins don't love nature as great and humble elves, so although I put forward this plan, for the real implementation of this plan and help the forest recover faster, Mr. Io, you are an indispensable assistant!" β
"Oh......" Io followed Li Shi's words, not knowing whether he was proud of his guess correctly, or satisfied with the great and humble words Li Shi said, the wave on his body kept flashing, and he said very cultivatedly, "What do you say!?" β
"Not only do I need your appeal to rally enough elves to help Rezrak's lumber yard plant trees and restore nature, but I also want to be able to join you in meeting the leaders of the elves to make this plan a reality, after all, not only to protect nature, but more importantly, to win the battle against the Scourge of the Guards! Without the support of the high-level, our plan would never have been implemented! Li Shi said firmly.
"This ......" Io couldn't help but have a little hesitation on his face when he heard Li Shi's words.
"Mr. Io, the battle between the Scourge and the Guards is a long-lasting battle that doesn't know when it will end, and in this battle, it is not one or two heroic legends that really determine the strength of both sides, but resources! Now, for every extra piece of wood, it is very likely that you will build an extra trebuchet, you may destroy one more defense tower of the natural disaster, and when the day of the final victory, as you propose and realize a sustainable strategy, what status and glory will you get, everyone will be convinced of your foresight! Li Shi looked at Io in front of him, and patted his ass without the slightest shame.
"Is this strategy coming up with me?!" When Ai heard Li Shi's words, he was slightly flustered and was very surprised.
"Yes! It has to be! If it weren't for you, Mr. Io, who would have thought of such a far-sighted strategic plan! Is it by the short-sighted and greedy goblin of Rezrak? Li Shi said without hesitation.
For Li Shi, neither the reputation nor the gold coins here are important, but for the heroes here, Rezrak is greedy for money, and Io loves the name, or the status is more appropriate, which may be related to the fact that he was born in the lowest-level elf, but in any case, it at least shows that these people have weaknesses, and this is the key to Li Shi's ability.
"Okay...... You are right! Io nodded, "In that case, let's go to the altar and report this to the Prophet Fario first, I believe that the Prophet would be more than willing to meet such a clever mercenary as you!" β
Li Shi breathed a long sigh of relief and was about to leave, but saw a ghostly chain on Io's body, which catapulted out of his body and wrapped around Li Shi's body. Suddenly, Li Shi felt that his body seemed to be much lighter.
"Alright, sit tight, let's go to the great prophet Fario now!" After Ai Ou finished speaking, but in a snap of his fingers, Li Shi felt that the sky was spinning, the original lush ancient trees disappeared cleanly, and what appeared in front of him was a majestic altar, and in front of the altar were two guards who were blocking him!
"Let's go inside!" With Io's words, Li followed behind Io, at this time, the two guards did not intercept Li Shi again, obviously Io's status as an elf in the elf clan is not high, but even if the status is low, the legendary unit is a legendary unit after all, and it is definitely not comparable to the two guards, at least there is no problem at all with Li Shi entering the altar.
However, what Li Shi paid attention to was not this, but Io's guard arrival, theoretically speaking, it would inevitably be teleported back after use, but Io actually achieved the cancellation of the guard advent pass, which shows that Io is still somewhat different from the elves in the game. I don't know if this difference is shared by Iot or by all heroes.
Don't underestimate these small differences, which are likely to lead to unpredictable variables in the originally meticulous plan, especially when dealing with powerful plot heroes, subtle changes can be the difference between life and death!
Thinking of this, Li Shi is not optimistic about the trouble of that group of people to find legendary heroes, to deal with these unplanned variables, you need a team with a very high fault tolerance rate all the time, and the team that is often temporarily formed, not to mention what a high error tolerance rate, can be in danger, not to be scattered, it is already very remarkable.
Fario looks like a kind old man who keeps smiling, but if you really think that this guy can only laugh, it would be naΓ―ve, to Li Shi proposed, Io's supplementary sustainable development strategy, Fario is obviously on the side of the forest to completely occupy this strategy, and Li Shi heard the task completion prompt, and breathed a long sigh of relief, but Li Shi, who completed this task, only got 1500 points, 5 potential points, 1 merit, and an additional 300 gold coins used in the current world, However, the relationship with the guard has also grown a lot, and it has reached friendliness.
Li Shi is already quite satisfied with this harvest, and the remaining rewards will have to be claimed at the two legends before they can be obtained.
Just as Li Shi was about to leave, Fario looked at Li Shi and said, "Adventurer wait a minute, I have something to ask you!" β
Hearing Fario's inquiry, Li Shi naturally couldn't say that Lao Tzu just didn't drag you, look at you, if you really do this kind of thing, then Li Shi really doesn't have to mess around in this guard!
Fario looked at Li Shidao and said, "Recently, the No. 33 turret has been short of manpower, I don't know if you can guard the No. 33 turret with our warriors of the guard!" β
"Branch Mission: Turret 33, difficulty level C (Normal), protect Fort 33 from natural disasters for five days. The task rewards 2000 points, 5 potential points, and 1 merit point. Mission failure: 5000 points will be deducted, and all attributes will be reduced by 1 point. β
"This task ......, yes, this is a task specially prepared for novices?!" Li Shi's eyes narrowed slightly, and when he saw the 2000 points rewarded, he immediately understood that in this world, after the relationship with the guards reached a certain level, the novice would be able to receive this branch task, otherwise what was the difference between letting the novice directly participate in the legendary-level battle and sending him to death.
No matter what the purpose of this space is, it will definitely not let people come over to die, otherwise there will be no point in pulling people into this space, and it will save a lot of time to directly erase it!
But because of this, Li Shi also had a little consideration in his heart, after all, he still very much wanted to complete the main quest, if he chose this task, it would be tantamount to giving up the main quest! After all, taking one day to prepare is completely different from seven days to prepare!
