Chapter 4: Nana and the Great Candle
The corpse of the little wolf lay on the ground, and the big dog slapped it with its paws, and a stream of data floated by, and a wolf skin fell on the ground.
The big dog picked up the wolf skin and ran to Yang Fan's side happily, wagging his tail desperately. Seeing that Yang Fan stretched out his hand to take the wolf skin, the big dog immediately stood up, put his paws on Yang Fan's shoulders, stretched out his big tongue and licked Yang Fan's face.
Yang Fan was finally relieved, it seems that this dog is not hostile to him, and he should be a good dog.
Yang Fan called out tentatively: "Xiaobai? ”
Seeing that the big dog's tail was waging more happily, he rubbed around Yang Fan's side, turned his head, and opened his mouth to take the oilcloth bag in Yang Fan's hand.
Yang Fan never remembered that there was such a dog in the novice village, otherwise he would not have mistaken the little wolf for Xiaobai, but looking at Xiaobai's appearance, it was obvious that he had not been familiar with Yang Fan for a day or two.
Whether it is his own memory or the statement of the captain of the guard, Yang Fan should have just returned to this small village. But Yang Fan also felt strange, he also had a heartfelt intimacy with this big dog. Perhaps, as the captain of the guard said, there are some things that need to be recalled slowly.
Thinking back to the battle just now, Xiaobai was completely crushing-level lossless torture and killing the little wolf. Yang Fan estimated that Xiaobai's combat power was definitely above the thief leader he had just met. Looking at the wolf skin in his hand, Yang Fan remembered that there was a task in the novice village to hand over 8 wolf skins, since he couldn't do it, why not let Xiaobai help with the task, so that he could quickly upgrade to level 5 and equip an excellent thief dagger.
Of course, the prerequisite is that Xiaobai has to be obedient. Yang Fan began to try to communicate with Xiaobai.
Yang Fan looked at Xiaobai and saw Xiaobai happily gnawing on wolf meat. Feeling Yang Fan's gaze, Xiaobai raised his head and flashed his round eyes, glanced at Yang Fan, continued to bow his head and gnaw on the wolf meat, and soon ate all the meat in the oilcloth bag.
"Sit down!" Yang Fan pointed to a tree stump and ordered loudly, Xiao Bai obediently ran over, stood up with his front paws and curled up with his back paws, and sat on the stump with his buttocks.
"Come here!" Yang Fan said again, and Xiaobai ran in front of Yang Fan with a snort.
"Shake hands!" Yang Fan stretched out his right hand, and Xiaobai immediately raised his left front paw, put it in Yang Fan's hand, and shook it.
"Bite it!" Yang Fan pointed to a little wolf not far away and ordered, Xiao Bai ran over with a roar, and after a beating, he brought back a wolf skin.
Yang Fan was full of joy. This Xiaobai is really quite smart, he used to watch these orders of other people's pets, as long as he shouted, Xiaobai did it, and he was well-behaved and cute.
So, one person and one dog tossed the whole grove of chickens and dogs, wrong, it was the wolf and the dog jumped, and after a while, Xiaobai gathered eight wolf skins for Yang Fan.
Carrying eight wolf skins, Yang Fan rushed to the west wall of the central building, where a hunter stood quietly, this was the NPC that Yang Fan remembered to hand over the task.
"Hello, these are eight wolf skins, I'm here to hand in the task!" Yang Fan said.
With his previous experience in communicating with the captain of the guard and the owner of the grocery store, Yang Fan was already able to talk to NPCs more naturally.
"Yang Fan, I'm sorry." Orion said to Yang Fan in a standard NPC professional tone, "Only heroes can complete tasks, and you can't do tasks because you haven't obtained hero attributes yet." ”
Yang Fan was stunned for a moment, the amount of information in this conversation was a bit large, and Yang Fan felt that he had to sort it out.
First, whether it is an orion or a grocery store owner, they all know themselves as Yang Fan; Second, the Orion thinks that he is not a hero and therefore cannot do the mission; Third, it is very likely that you can obtain hero attributes.
As far as Yang Fan knows, in the setting of the world of Ysu, the characters created by the player are called heroes, and the others are NPCs controlled by the program. Now, NPCs don't think they're heroes, so are they?
Yang Fan was a little confused. The body that I am manipulating, this character, is considered an NPC. The fundamental difference between NPCs and heroes is that NPCs are controlled by a program, while heroes are controlled by players. Then the most logical corollary: oneself is a program.
This is impossible, not long ago, he also led a team to win the honor of the first kill of the top copy of the online game "Isu World", how could he be a program? It's right to be a real player.
The hunter in front of him seemed to recognize that Yang Fan could not do the task, and there was no room for communication at all. Consider that the captain of the guard did not give himself any tasks, and the owner of the grocery store, although he instructed himself to run errands, did not give him any favor. It seems that the road of earning experience by doing tasks is not working, so what should be done?
Just when Yang Fan was thinking about how to upgrade, an aunt dressed as a peasant woman came around from the direction of the main entrance of the small building, and when she saw Yang Fan from a distance, she shouted loudly: "Yang Fan, you go to the mine in the north and call Nana back for dinner." ”
went to the north mine to pick up a little girl named Nana, Yang Fan remembered this task, but it didn't match the current plot at all.
"Great hero, innocent and kind little Nana, who was captured by the evil kobold in the northern cave, if you can help rescue her, I will definitely reward you heavily." This is the task that the aunt should give.
"Isn't there a lot of kobolds in the mine to the north, and it's going to be dangerous, right?" Yang Fan asked the aunt bluntly.
"Don't worry, the big candle has already awakened, and it won't hurt you. You go and call Nana back, and then come to my house for dinner with Xiaobai. Auntie said with a smile.
Although the aunt said that it would be safe, Yang Fan felt that the current situation, if the kobold attacked him, it was still quite dangerous. At present, the most reliable force is Xiaobai.
Xiao Bai seemed to feel Yang Fan's thoughts, his tail wagked even more happily, and he took the lead and ran towards the mine cave in the north.
In my memory, this is a mission that allows players to fight all the way into the mine, kill a kobold miner leader, and escort the little Lori found in the depths of the mine out of the mine.
But that doesn't seem to be the case.
"Yang Fan, you're here to pick up Nana, Nana is still listening to the big candle telling stories inside." As soon as he entered the mine, a kobold miner took the initiative to greet Yang Fan.
Glancing at the bright red name on the kobold miner's head, Yang Fan casually said "um" and vaguely agreed.
The mine is not deep, and every short distance, a torch is inserted on the pale blue stone wall, which illuminates the whole mine.
The burning grease made the air waft with a faint smell of pine oil, but there was no trace of stuffiness in the mine, and if you felt it carefully, you could feel a faint breeze blowing out from the mine.
Xiao Bai was very familiar with this place, completely ignoring the kobold miners along the way, and ran in a long way with joy, looking back to see that Yang Fan did not follow, he turned his head and ran back, as if he had inexhaustible physical strength and energy.
Walking along the minecart track with sleepers and walking inward, Yang Fan saw a relatively large stone cave in front of him, and there was a chiseled stone table in the stone cave according to the stone wall, and there was a stone pier on each side of the stone table, a tall and mighty kobold man sat on a stone pier, and a beautiful little girl sat on the opposite stone pier.
The little girl wore a golden ponytail, a bright red bow tied on her head, and a pale pink dress, which reflected her delicate and fair skin like clotted cream, and looked like a delicate doll. Half a white candle flickered on the stone table, and the girl put her hands on her cheeks, listening intently to the kobold's story.
When Xiaobai saw the girl, he pounced happily, put his front paws on his shoulders, and licked his tongue out, causing the girl to reach out and push away Xiaobai's big head as much as she could, while "giggling" straight laugh.
When the kobold heard the movement, he also turned his head, and when he saw Yang Fan who had entered the stone cave, he shouted loudly: "Who is the junior, how dare you come to die!" While grabbing two stones casually, he raised his hand to Yang Fan.
With the two sharp sounds of "hiss~, hiss~", two stones instantly shot in front of Yang Fan.
Yang Fan saw that the two stones suddenly flew in, and hurriedly lowered his head sideways, dodging the sneak attack of the stones, and heard the three tight impact sounds of "popping" behind him, and then he felt a pain in his buttocks, as if he had been smashed hard by a stone.
It turned out that after Yang Fan dodged, the first stone hit the wall and bounced back, and was grazed by the second stone and changed direction, which happened to hit Yang Fan's buttocks.
Fortunately, it bounced off the wall first, and then was grazed by the second stone, which neutralized most of the energy, but even so, this time it still caused Yang Fan a brief stiffness.
Seeing that the kobold man took advantage of the situation and rubbed his body up, and the tiger and tiger dancing with two fists were vigorous, Yang Fan fell into the danger of stagnation in an instant.
Yang Fan suddenly felt bad in his heart, and hurriedly beckoned Xiaobai for help, but peeking at it, Xiaobai was playing happily with the girl over there, and seemed to feel Yang Fan's angry gaze, turned his head and glanced at Yang Fan, turned around and continued to enjoy the girl's touch comfortably, and had no intention of coming over to help.
The task boss couldn't be controlled, and the dagger couldn't be equipped, and the greedy perverted dog didn't come to help at this time, so Yang Fan had to use all his strength, waving his fists to support it, and fighting with the kobold.
I saw that the two figures were fighting fast, and in the blink of an eye, thirty rounds passed, Yang Fan tried his best to dodge, but he was still hit by the kobold's three punches, and the kobold's fists were fierce, and Yang Fan bared his teeth and cracked his mouth.
Yang Fan hit the kobold many more times, but every punch on the kobold was like hitting the kobold on thick hard leather, and he couldn't do any harm to the kobold at all.
Just when Yang Fan felt that he couldn't hold on anymore, he saw that the kobold man suddenly waved his hands weakly, pushed Yang Fan away, and at the same time took a step back, laughing and said: "Happy, Yang Fan, it seems that your initial attribute in this life is very agile!" ”
