Chapter 10: The Acala Collection
In another corner of Rog's camp, Shen Mu and Roma were also sitting together studying the notice that had been ordered by Kasha, the leader of the mercenaries in the camp.
Not surprisingly, the two were shocked by the promised reward at this time.
In the game, Akara is the most unusual NPC for sale in Rog's camp, although it is only a low-level potion such as a light healing potion and a light magic potion, but it is a potion after all! For novices, this is a necessity to complete the task and fight monsters to upgrade the battery life.
And things like some teleportation scrolls, identification scrolls, etc., are extremely important. For players who have played this game, I am afraid that the NPC that frequented the most in the first act is Acala. Moreover, it was only in the game, but now it is a real world, so what will the teleportation scroll in the game look like in reality?
Curious, shocked......
"It's done! I'm going to take on this task no matter what, even if it's dangerous! Rohm yelled excitedly.
Rohm's words also represent Shen Mu's opinion, and no one can resist this temptation. However, Shen Mu directly poured a basin of cold water on Rohm: "That's an underground cave, are you sure your AMP mecha can move freely in it?" β
Rohm's original enthusiasm was suddenly extinguished, an AMP mecha is about 4 meters high, and the body is huge, it needs a large space to move in order to show the maximum combat effectiveness, if it is in a narrow environment, it will only become a constraint, like putting a rope on the mecha.
"So, I don't have a chance?" RΓΆm asked as he sat back in his chair with a look of remorse. If you have a choice, I believe that Rom will definitely exchange it for another enhancement, even if it is a mecha, you must choose a smaller mech.
"It's not that there is no chance, it's that it's not worth the risk! Akara's reward is very generous and only a guess, like a mysterious gift, and no one knows what it will be until the moment it is revealed. Are you sure you want to risk your mech for a reward you don't know what? Shen Mu asked.
RΓΆm sighed: "Well, it's a little unworthy, but it's still unwilling." β
Shen Mu picked up the notice and looked at it: "It says that as long as you are interested, you can go to Kasha to sign up, and after selection, the strongest people will be sent to the underground cave in a small team." β
"What are you waiting for, even if I can't go, but you have to go! Akara's reward, this may be the hidden mission of the main god space in disguise? Rohm said quickly.
Shen Mu's expression was solemn: "This is what I'm worried about, you must know that there are only two of us, and if we separate, it is likely to give others a chance." β
"But there may also be more rewards!" Rohm said. Anyway, there is no safe task in the main god space at all, as long as you are alive, you will definitely encounter danger, and the only people who will not encounter danger are the dead. β
Shen Mu's body shook, and he suddenly said, "That's right, it's me who wants to fork." β
"Let's go, don't waste time."
After Shen Mu and Rom left the hotel, they found that the people on the street were almost swarming in one direction, and all of them were adventurers in armor. The two of them looked at each other, knowing that these were probably the people who were going to participate after knowing the announcement.
The two of them were amazed by the appeal of the reward promised by Akara, and they also walked directly into the flow of people.
Following the crowd, the two soon came to a remote corner of Rog's camp, a training place divided into mercenaries. The training facility is the size of a football field, filled with all kinds of training equipment and a high platform that resembles a ring.
A burly, sturdy woman in a red robe and an Arabic-style round hat stood on the stage with her hands crossed on her hips, watching the adventurers gather below.
Shen Mu recognized from the costume that this was Kasha in the game - a strong woman who never flinched in the face of blood and death, had an impatient personality, was very elusive, but was trustworthy.
The crowd gathered, the noise was endless, and soon, in the corner behind the training ground, a group of people walked slowly, led by a woman wearing a purple scarf and covering all her facial features. Seeing this person coming, Kasha Yuguang stretched out his hands towards everyone and slowly pressed down, and the originally noisy sound suddenly stopped.
Everyone recognized the woman who came as the famous Akara, not because Akara often came and went in this environment, but because the eyes that had been closed were too marked!
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry to have you here, but we have a last resort." Akara raised her voice and said apologetically.
Standing next to Akara was a man in full suit of actual armor and a white-bearded old man, both of whom seemed to have a high reputation, and many people exclaimed when they saw them.
Shen Mu and Rom stood in the crowd and recognized that the knight in full armor was Richard, who had a relationship before, but it was not clear who the white-bearded old man was.
"Lord Akara, let's get started!" Richard stood there with a solemn expression and whispered.
Akara nodded, then raised his head and slowly opened his eyes to look at the crowd!
In an instant, Shen Mu felt that Akara's eyes were directly staring at him from a distance of dozens of meters, and that feeling was not just as simple as a person looking at you from a distance, but also a strange feeling of being spied on.
Shen Mu's face changed suddenly, and then he turned his head to look at Rom, at this time, he saw that Rom's face also changed faintly, and his eyes became vigilant.
The two of them looked at each other, and realized that the strange sense of prying just now was definitely not just their own illusion.
"You feel it too?" Shen Mu asked in a low voice.
"Well, it's like being targeted by a sniper, and I'm so scared that I break out in a cold sweat." RΓΆm nodded.
The two stood together and talked in a low voice, but the other local adventurers standing around them were unaware of it, and their faces didn't change at all. If one person's words are still good for disguise, but if everyone is like this, then it means that they probably didn't feel the strange sense of peeping just now.
"Looks like Akara is looking for us!" Shen Mu said in a solemn tone.
The 'we' Shen Mu said was not just him and Roma, but all the reincarnators present!
"Guys, if you don't find my collection boring, please come with me!" Akara on the high platform slowly closed his eyes, his tone was tired, and then he said to everyone.
In the audience, all the adventurers were talking about it.
Several...... Who is this talking about?
But Akara didn't stop, they walked directly down the high platform, and left directly along the way they came.
On the high platform, Kasha opened his loud voice and suppressed everyone's discussions: "Lord Akara has already selected a candidate, please return those who have not been chosen!" β
"Go ahead, and don't forget to tell me what Akara's collection has when you come back!" Rom stood there, elbowed Shen Mu, and said in an admiring tone.
"I guess it's some magic equipment, and we don't necessarily need it." Shen Mu said in a low voice, then squeezed through the crowd and walked in the direction that Akara left.
In the crowd, a few people from other corners also began to squeeze through the crowd and walk. The people who had been squeezed away were still faintly displeased, but after seeing the direction they were going, the curses on their lips were forcibly swallowed, and then they were watched away with envious eyes.
After Shen Mu squeezed out of the crowd, he walked to the back of the training ground under the gaze of everyone.
Soon, several more people from the crowd crowded out and walked together.
Shen Mu paid attention to it, there were four people in total.
A handsome man with black hair and yellow skin.
A middle-aged strong man with a burly build, who seemed to be a little more robust than the barbarians.
A woman with ordinary facial features, but her temperament seems to be as inclusive as the sea.
A middle-aged man with an Eastern European face, sickly pale skin, and a faint reddish bloodshot pupil in his eyes.
Coupled with Shen Mu, there were a total of five people who came out of the crowd!
"Is there anyone other than Rohm who hasn't come out?" Shen Mu thought secretly after taking a look.
Shen Mu and the others all understood their identities as reincarnations at this time, but they didn't have any conversations, just walked silently.
Soon, behind the training ground, I saw several wooden houses that could be called rudimentary. Richard, the shield knight who had been standing beside Akara before, was waiting for them in the doorway.
After Shen Mu and the others walked in, Richard glanced at Shen Mu in surprise, obviously recognizing this person who had a relationship.
"Guys, please come in!" Richard said.
Richard pushed open the door, and the crowd followed.
The room was also rudimentary, just like the outside, with nothing but a table and a few chairs. But no one in the room cared about that.
Akhara sat down in his chair and said, "Thank you for agreeing to help us destroy the evil forces in the underground caverns!" β
After Shen Mu and the others walked into the room, the first thing they heard was like this, and then they were all stunned.
The handsome man standing next to Shen Mu asked, "Lord Akara, how do you know that we will definitely agree to help you?" β
"If not, then why are you still standing here?" Akara said. β
The handsome man pursed his lips, and then said, "To be precise, our purpose is probably for Lord Akara's collection...... If the reward you promise is not enough to impress us, we will not have to bear such a heavy responsibility. β
The handsome man's words were very realistic, and it could even be said to be a little disrespectful, at least Richard, who was standing next to Akara, had a faint displeasure on his face.
But for reincarnations like Shen Mu and them, it is the truest portrayal of their hearts. If there were no rewards issued by the Lord God Space, and the rewards promised by Akara were not enough to impress them, then why take the risk to destroy the evil Experiences in the underground caverns?
To protect the native inhabitants of this world?
!
"You can rest assured, although the Sisters of the Blind Eyes have been dilapidated, the collection left behind is still expensive, and there will be an existence that will interest you." With that, Akara signaled, and Richard on the side silently took out a dozen boxes and put them on the table, and then opened them one by one.
The box was very small, so the things contained in it were naturally not large, and none of the magic equipment that Shen Mu had envisioned had been seen originally. But when they saw the contents of the box, their faces changed.
"It contains the few remaining collections of the Sisters of the Blind Eyes, which were precious but not rare if they were before the invasion of Hell...... But now, it should be rare to see it in comparison! Akara said in a regretful tone.
Inside the box, there were scrolls tied with blue and dark red sashes, as well as some delicate rings and strangely shaped amulets.
"If you are willing to help Camp Rog eliminate the source of evil power in the cavern, you can take whatever you want here!" Akara said in a calm tone.
But I don't know why, this calm tone sounded in Shen Mu's ears, but there was an indescribable temptation.
For a moment, everyone looked at the contents of these boxes, and their breathing became short.
