Chapter Twenty-Three: Unknown Decisions
Li Wei hesitated!
Reason told him not to accept this dangerous task, the A-level difficulty evaluation is not a joke, as long as the previous main quest is continued, with this horror knight, it will not take much effort to complete the task of C-level difficulty.
Moreover, regarding the 'recovery of Dawn City', Li Wei already has a detailed plan, and now he gives up a task with a detailed plan and is sure to complete, and chooses a task that has increased in difficulty by two levels, but has no task clues, I believe it is not difficult to choose.
However, Li Wei hesitated!
This is an A-level difficulty task, it is definitely an opportunity that can be encountered but not sought, anyone who reaches Shadow Street, the fate is dominated by a mysterious force, if you want to survive, you can only keep getting stronger, and the difficult task must bring high rewards, just like in the 'initial trial', Li Wei gave up going to Xianling Island and chose to stay and take care of Aunt Li, and finally he got the C-level martial arts Cloud Piercing Palm, which is a good example in itself.
For a long time, Li Wei made his own decision!
Glancing at the crossbowmen behind him, he put away the yellow paper for the time being, and rushed directly to the next resource point with the Terror Knight.
A gold mine entwined with vines, this is the last resource point in the forest, Li Wei, who has a sixth-level class of terror knights, did not take much effort to eliminate several stone men guarding this gold mine.
"You capture a gold mine, and you will get 1,000 units of gold every day!"
After occupying the gold mine, Li Wei rushed to the previous 'Deadwood Guard' recruitment point, and this time he did not hesitate, leading the Terror Knight and three crossbowmen to break into the territory of the Deadwood Guard.
Guarding here are three tall deadwood guards, Li Wei hurriedly ordered the terror knight to step forward and entangle the opponent, the three crossbowmen concentrated the fire on a long-range attack, and Li Wei himself used the cloud-piercing palm to attack the deadwood guard.
Even with the horror knight, this battle is very tragic, no matter how you say it, the deadwood guard is also a fifth-level class, powerful stunts and defense, it really took Li Wei a lot of effort, but the cloud-piercing palm technique seems to have a restraining effect on this class, a few palms in a row, a deadwood guard was crippled, and finally this unlucky ghost was cut in two pieces by the horror knight's sword.
In the same way, the remaining two Deadwood Guards were resolved.
"You occupy the Deadwood Forest, do you want to recruit the Deadwood Guards?" When he saw the information that popped up on the yellow paper, Li Wei showed a satisfied smile, but soon he showed a bitter gourd face.
No more gold!
Recruiting a Deadwood Guardian requires a call fee of 800 gold coins, fortunately, a gold mine was captured before, but it was only enough to recruit a Deadwood Guard, but this is a fifth-level class, and the combat effectiveness of one is already very considerable.
Leading the huge deadwood guards with a height of five meters, Li Wei returned to Bai Jie's resting place.
The woman was visibly anxious to wait, and at first she was stunned at the sight of the huge deadwood guards, and then she was about to order the militia and crossbowmen to attack (Li Wei had already handed over the command of several arms to her before leaving).
However, soon, she saw Li Wei.
"Oh my God, I thought you weren't coming back!" Bai Jie was obviously scared enough, and she didn't blame her, if it was anyone, if she accidentally encountered a tall creature like the Deadwood Guard, she would be shocked by it, but what shocked her even more was still to come.
A three-meter-tall terrifying knight walked out of the forest with a faint black aura, although this black-armored knight was much shorter than the Deadwood Guard, but as soon as he appeared, he immediately overwhelmed all the troops in terms of momentum.
"What is this? Li Wei, what did you just do? Bai Jie looked at the man in front of her with some dumbfounded, she couldn't have imagined that the other party had only been away for more than an hour and brought back two powerful creatures.
Li Wei sorted out his words and said, "Bai Jie, I have one thing I need you to do!" ”
After a pause, he continued: "This is a level 5 creature Deadwood Guard, I will hand it over to you along with the remaining 5 crossbowmen and 3 militiamen, by the way, as well as the control of the Deadwood Guardian recruitment point, and the control of the three resource points, I will hand it over to you, you immediately rush to the knight training ground, meet with Zheng Yutong and them, and tell her that I have to leave because I have one thing to do, and there is a letter here, hand it to Zheng Yutong, she knows what to do!" ”
Li Wei took out a letter that had just been written and handed it to Bai Jie, which contained all his plans on how to complete the recovery of Auroville.
In the end, Li Wei still decided to accept the task of the horror knight Meddell, he must not let go of this opportunity, as for Zheng Yutong and them, there is only so much they can help.
"What the hell is going on?" Bai Jie looked at Li Wei a little bewildered: "Are you still coming back?" ”
Li Wei, who had already turned over and rode on the back of the Terror Knight's horse, thought about it.
"Maybe, good luck!"
This sentence is not only said to Bai Jie, but also to himself!
At the same time, Li Wei chose to accept the mission of 'Redemption of the Terror Knight' on the yellow paper.
Only when a certain task is accepted, the specific situation in the task can be known from the mouth of the plot character, and this time, the person responsible for explaining to Li Wei is naturally the horror knight Meddell.
The Merdell family is a family of knights that has been passed down for hundreds of years, counting from their ancestors, there have been dozens of great knights in the family, they are all loyal guards who have sacrificed everything for the human kingdom, and the king has also given enough trust to this family to settle their family in the border town of He, which is later Dawn City.
Originally, glory and brilliance would have favored the family, but until a war came, all that changed.
On that day, Dawn City was shrouded in dark clouds, and monsters appeared outside the city that only appeared in horror stories that scare children.
Undead!
Not just one or two, but undead creatures all over the mountains, and even the soldiers guarding the town were horrified to find that in the undead troops, there were vampires, lichs, and even bone dragons and other terrifying existences.
No one knows what kind of horror Dawn City experienced that day, until seven days later, when the human kingdom sent a large number of troops to arrive, there was no one alive in the entire Dawn City.
The Merdell family, who guarded Dawn City, has also fallen!
No one knew that it was a conspiracy, a conspiracy against the knight family of Medel, the youngest and most promising knight in the Merder family, who had heard a word about the conspiracy from a necromancer, and he was furious, although he was about to die by that time, but this did not diminish his hatred for the person who had created it.
So, when the necromancer made a suggestion to make him a horror knight, he agreed without hesitation, he was willing to do anything for the sake of his family and revenge.
Since then, there has been an extra horror knight in this world called Medell.
"I still remember the expressions of those innocent people before they died......" said this, and the crimson flame in Medel's eyes brightened a lot: "It was a knight who made all this, who turned his back on his kingdom and his faith in order to gain greater power, and as far as I know, he later became a necromancer!" ”
Hearing this, Li Wei's eyes lit up violently, and it seemed that the focus of this task was coming!
"Necromancer-Shante, I only remember the name, master, please help me kill this vile undead!"
Li Wei was stunned!
It turned out to be him! Isn't this the same guy who captured Dawn City this time?
"'The Redemption of the Terror Knight', mission requirements, kill the necromancer Shante, the time limit is seven days, the mission fails, and you will suffer from the terror knight's rebellion!"
Damn it!
Li Wei almost tore the yellow paper to shreds, this is a pit at all! It's just that it's too late to say anything, it's a task that can't be interrupted, and it must be done, otherwise......
Sneaking a glance at the horror knight Medel, Li Wei shuddered, being chased and killed by such a monster is by no means a pleasant thing, but it is definitely not an easy task to kill Shante.
No wonder it's an A-level difficulty task, and it's really challenging!
"Master, with all due respect, you are too weak, not to mention the necromancer Shante, even those vampires under his command I am afraid you can't deal with it!"
The words that the horror knight suddenly came out of nowhere, which made Li Wei embarrassed, indeed, as the horror knight said, Li Wei only has an E3 level assessment, and I am afraid that he can't even deal with a vampire, let alone Shante.
How strong Shante is, Li Wei only heard a rough idea from the horror knight Medel, but it did not prevent him from making a judgment, compared to Medel, Shante is only strong or weak.
"Murdell, do you have any good advice?" Li Wei asked along with the other party's words.
The terrifying knight then let out a dull laugh: "For revenge, I gave my soul to the Grim Reaper in exchange for two skill scrolls, and I learned one of them, 'Critical Strike'......"
As he spoke, he raised the black war knife in his hand and slashed at the giant tree surrounded by several people on the side, and a red light flashed in the void, and in an instant, this thick and somewhat exaggerated towering tree was cut off at the waist, and the fallen trunk rumbled to the ground, startling countless birds, birds and beasts.
-800
This is Li Wei's eyes of exploration, the damage caused by the blow of the Terror Knight is 8 times that of the Cloud Piercing Palm Method, under normal circumstances, the physical strength value of 10 can be equivalent to the amount of blood 100, Li Wei can kill in one palm, but the fatal blow of the Terror Knight, even if the physical strength reaches 80 points, I am afraid that he will not be able to resist.
Seemingly satisfied with his skills, the horror knight Meddell nodded, and then continued: "After I learned the attack skill, I kept the remaining skill scroll, although it was just a 'craftsman skill' that I didn't know what it was for, but the rating also reached the A level, and now, in order to improve your strength, I will dedicate this skill scroll to you, master!" ”
The horror knight Medder took out a scroll glowing with a faint blue light and handed it to Li Wei's hand.
"Craftsman skills, [Technique of Superposition], rated A-level, unique surname, can be stacked on target creatures, item props, the superimposed object must be the same caste, and the superimposed item level and caste will change randomly according to the number of stacks...... 'This is a skill that only a god can master!' ”
Looking at the surname of the skill scroll, Li Wei was a little confused for a while, this turned out to be a craftsman skill.
Craftsman skills are not a rare thing in Shadow Street, Li Wei has seen many skill books selling 'blacksmithing', 'engineering' and other similar skills, basically no one will pay attention to these things.
It's not for other reasons, it's mainly that learning a certain craftsman skill requires very strict prerequisites, taking blacksmithing as an example, you must have a strength value of more than 10 points, and you must master the 'junior blacksmith' skill before you can learn it.
10 points of strength is okay, but the 'junior blacksmith' is troublesome, this is not a ready-made skill book to learn, but must be practiced in the real world, that is, in order to get the title of 'junior blacksmith', in the real world, you must be a blacksmith with a lot of experience.
Other craftsman skills are similar, and even if they are real craftsmen, in Shadow Street, they will give priority to skills that can improve their combat power, after all, strength is the most important, no one wants to be subordinate to others and be a 'craftsman', which is why no one cares about craftsman skills.
Now, the horror knight Meddell gave Li Wei a craftsman skill, which made Li Wei feel a little bitter.
"Stacking items? What exactly is the use? Li Wei looked at the learning conditions of this craftsman's skills: "...... You need 15 mental power and at least one 'Discovery' skill to learn this Craftsman's skill! ”
