Volume 1 [Border Clouds] Chapter 50 Blood debts must be repaid in blood

Unaware of the gaze behind him, Roddy's mind almost immediately cleared up the emotions surrounding Sally, like an emotionless machine, and after a few minutes, all that was left in his mind was his future career plan.

Habitually glancing at the taskbar, it shows that the "Priest Nilda's Fall" quest chain has been opened, and the prompt reads "Try to find clues where you picked up the ring." ”

Luo Di closed it casually, and did not intend to continue to do this task - because the level span of this task chain is very large, the opening condition only needs to be level 1, but to do the third step, you must reach level 10 or above, the seventh step requires a team of 10 people and 20 levels, and the last step even requires the player to break through the advanced profession level 30 to complete, although the harvest is extremely rich and even enough to increase the prestige of the "Rosicrucise" temple to "reverence", but because they are all "priest" professions can be used, So he didn't want to do such unprofitable tasks at all.

Looking at the state of the character, because the final level of the task itself is very high, a lot of experience points were awarded when opening this task chain, even if it was the starting step with the lowest reward, it also gave Roddy 4000 experience points.

Counting the task of "saving Sally, the Duke's daughter" shown earlier, Roddy found that he had the qualification to jump two levels directly, and he did not hesitate, he directly selected the upgrade button, promoted himself to level 5, and kept the experience of upgrading to level 6 as insurance, and then took out the box that Bishop Benjamin gave him, and opened it with a "click".

Inside the box is a very simple necklace, and the pendant is the most used symbol of the "Rosicrucian" sect - the Holy Triangle.

Delicate Holy Triangle pendant

Excellent necklace

Location: Neck

+2 Force

Equip: "Rosicrucian Temple" reputation increased to "Friendly".

"The eyes of God are always on the world."

A necklace that is better than nothing, Luo Di thought about it, and replaced the "mysterious necklace" - attributes secondly, the prestige was raised to "friendly" It was a surprise for Luo Di, the "Rossicruc" temple was abundant, but it was usually not sold to the public, only people with a reputation of "friendly" or above could buy some affordable and high-quality things in this religious armament office, Luo Di happened to need to change his armament, and this necklace gave him a better choice.

"Frans Arsenal. This way. ”

Looking up to confirm the direction, Roddy strode towards the equipment sale location of the "Temple" in his memory, but just as he was about to close the equipment slot, he suddenly saw the ring on his finger that had been found in the Kemera Beast's cave - because it had been upgraded to level 5, the ring itself had its stats activated.

However, now that Roddy's attributes have skyrocketed because of the Ranger suit, the attribute bonuses provided by the ring are no longer enough, but he still instinctively glanced at the task prompt that was opened because the level was up to standard:

"You gently wipe the ring, and you see a pale gold line on it: Hlukji-smier."

Just such a simple sentence made Roddy raise his eyebrows - as a technical nerd, he is not only proficient in human Bringa, but also dabbles in other languages, because this background knowledge is the key to mastering a game, especially when facing a task, he can quickly find the clue. And now, apparently, it's time for Roddy to put that knowledge to work.

Roddy couldn't confirm the meaning of this line of writing, but he could tell that it was a text belonging to the Elven language family, but the elves were divided into wood elves, dark elves, high elves, etc., and he could only tell from the spelling that this was a spelling that belonged to the wood elf language family, and recognized the meaning of one of the words as "light".

Radiance? The Wood Elves believe in a half-human, half-deer primordial deity, in a sense with some connection to the "Druid" sect, the Wood Elves are not large, and the clergy and legal are relatively rare, but there is a sacrifice that seems to be related to "light" - that is a class that the player can't choose: "Light Guard".

Roddy has only heard of this profession, it seems that the other party's function is to fight against demons and undead or something, it sounds similar to the paladins in human religion, but it existed earlier, and then almost disappeared, leaving only a few NPCs to survive in the world, and few people have seen it.

"Heh... The elves and the undead seem to have a big holiday. ”

Roddy sighed, but also realized that there was something wrong with this ring - it stands to reason that any task should have a verbal prompt on the "mission content", such as the previous "Priest Nirda's Fall" will prompt where to go to continue looking for clues. And this ring has no similar textual description - Roddy thought about it, glanced around, dodged into an empty alley, raised his fist so that the ring pointed forward, and said, "Hlukji-smier!" ”

Nothing happened.

"It doesn't look like a magic prop."

Roddy muttered and put down his hand, and took a step to leave here, but after taking a few steps, he felt that something was wrong, because the reflection of the walls on both sides seemed to have some faint changes in the afterglow - the vigilant Roddy pondered for a moment, then slowly raised his palm, and after shaking it a few times, he finally understood what the problem was.

It turned out that the ring was glowing.

Because of the strong sunlight at the moment, Roddy didn't notice any change in it until he went into the darkness to highlight the difference of this ring.

"Illumination rings? What is this? ”

Shaking the "flashlight" in his hand, a little helpless Roddy read the elven language on the ring again, the light disappeared, he had some doubts about the function of the ring, but he didn't have a clue for a while, so he walked out of the alley while thinking, and headed towards the French quartermaster's depot.

Roddy was ready to buy enough munitions before leaving the main city, because the orcs on the border were still his main source of experience now, and with new equipment and weapons and a higher level, Roddy would inevitably let the orc mongrels understand what the real "harassment tactics" were

The month of April 588 in the Elonian calendar is considered a turning point in the history of the Karen Kingdom.

Francis's siege of Sally ended in complete failure this month. The disrupted nature of his plans was not only frustrating to the earl, but in a sense, to the frustration of the witch doctor with whom he had a secret connection.

Let the view go further northwest from Nolan Village, a village on the edge of the kingdom - fly over the endless grassland, cross hundreds of kilometers... When a group of tents has sprung up in your field of vision, you have entered the territory of the Orc Kingdom.

Sheep and cattle roamed the meadows, and grazing orcs occasionally sang rough songs, and because of poverty, most of them wore rudimentary animal skin clothes, rough skin, and sad faces—and this was a reflection of the entire orc kingdom.

Nomads are not completely "poor", if all their cattle and sheep are exchanged for gold coins in the human kingdom, I am afraid that every herdsman will live much better than the farmers of the Karen Kingdom, but the reality is cruel after all... The hostility with the human kingdom and the isolation from the Tasman undead in the south make these herders irreplaceable, just like guarding the mountains of gold and silver but having nowhere to consume, the high-priced cattle and sheep can only be used to keep them for the winter.

The kingdom, which is composed of ninety percent grassland and one percent desert, is much more difficult than the Karen kingdom when it comes to living conditions.

The ruling structure was loose, and the kingdom consisted of a dozen clans ruled by a dozen large chiefs, and there was far from "unity" to speak of. Among them, the "Hammer of Rohar" should be regarded as the most powerful tribe in the entire orc kingdom.

At this moment, in one of the villages of Rohar's Hammer, a small moan of pain was coming from a huge tent.

There was blue-white smoke in the air, and the tip of his nose could smell some strange medicinal fragrance, and the injured orc was lying on the bed covered with animal skins, clenching his teeth and enduring the pain, but after all, there was no anesthetic in this era, and he still had a time when he couldn't help it.

The orc's body was as strong as a bear, and he could even be said to be one of the largest in the clan, but his usually majestic appearance was now very weak—beads of sweat were dripping from his forehead, and his green face was twisted with pain.

A wound that slashed diagonally across the back was exposed to the air, and deep into the bone. It seems that because of the delay, it is full of traces of ulceration and pus, but by this time most of the rotten flesh has been cleaned by a knife, applied with herbs, and then tightened with a bandage.

Coarse linen bandages are considered valuable items in the orc kingdom, and it can be seen that he is very valued at this time.

"Alright, Xhosa."

A faint voice of words sounded beside him, appearing calm and powerful.

The orc named Xhosa immediately got up and knelt on the ground despite the pain, and whispered, "Thank you, Lord Sarota, Xhosa swears to follow in your footsteps!" ”

Such words may seem flattering or contrived in the human kingdom, but they carry a great weight in the orcs.

Sarota, who was the tribe's "chief witch doctor", reached out and pulled him up, so that the other party sat on the wooden chair next to him, and asked in a calm tone, "So... Xhosa, tell me more about what happened to you. ”

"Yes! Lord Sarota, we..."

The seated orc exhaled, and began to recount his ordeal in a low voice.

Xhosa, who was slashed in the back, returned to the village only yesterday. He fainted at the entrance of the village, his wounds so badly purulent that he had almost half his life left, and the orc, who had spent nearly a month traversing the grasslands and finally returning to the village on foot, ate almost everything he could along the way... Weeds, hares, dead rats, in short, he trekked hundreds of kilometers across the prairie, just to tell the witch doctor bad news—

Intentions to establish an outpost in the kingdom of Karen have been detected by humans.

And the outpost where Xhosa was located had been hit like never before!

Combined with the news that the raiding force had lost ten wolf cavalry some time ago, the witch doctor, who was already in a high position in Rohar's Hammer, clenched the bone dice in his hand slightly after listening to Xhosa's report, narrowed his eyes, and sighed as if talking to himself:

"The blood debt must be paid in blood..."
