Chapter 38: The Secret of the Broken Sword
Li Xu's tentative questioning actually got a response from the soldier commander, and this time, he felt even more hopeful.
"I am here to join the Terran Legion on the orders of the village chief, and I hope you can take me to meet the general." Li Xu hurriedly said.
"That's right, but so many people are here to join our legion, so I can't make an exception for you." The soldier said in embarrassment.
"You don't have to worry, I see that the general has more important things than this, what do you think this is?" Li Xu had already prepared, took out the tattered iron sword from the package, and spread his hands between the palms
"General Saber Okay, I'll take you there." The soldier's eyes lit up, attracted by the half-broken sword in his hand.
I didn't expect Li Erniang's deceased husband to be a general!
Li Xu knew that the defending general of Tianmeng City must know this broken sword, but he didn't expect that even ordinary soldier commanders knew its origin.
In the surprised eyes of the three dead friends, Li Xu smiled and turned around to make a victory gesture, followed behind the soldier commander, and walked towards the middle of the crowd
"No, can you do this?" The rice bucket was stunned.
"Did Brother Xu bribe NPCs, how could this be?" The horse was surprised.
"The devil knows what's going on, his little copper coins are not enough to buy medicine, who will buy his account, this guy must have an adventure." Zhang Xiaolei said in amazement.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!" The Soldier Commander roared loudly in the crowd, causing players to dodge
Soon, Li Xu followed behind the soldier commander and walked up the steps of the high platform.
"Fight against fate, you go up first, and I'll help you guard the passage." The soldier turned around and stabbed the big thorn down the stairs, completely blocking the entrance to the passage.
A group of puzzled players, staring at each other, not understanding what was going on.
"Thank you." Li Xu smiled, and continued to step on the high platform amid the dissatisfied muttering of many players.
Walking up the steps, I saw a burly gold-armored general standing in the middle of the platform.
Different from the armor of the soldier chief, the general's armor is extremely powerful, with a tiger head heart guard inlaid in the middle of the bright scale armor, and a colorful feather on the double dragon helmet soaring into the sky.
This general has a square face, brass bell-like eyes, a high nose and a wide mouth, and a thick beard, and a heroic appearance.
Tianmeng Town Defender General: Wang Tang [Commander-level NPC]
Level: 100
Faction: Terran
Looking at the pale golden name on the general's head, Li Xu's heart sank
The monsters and bosses in the troubled times are different according to their ranks, and the names on the top of their heads are also prescribed by various colors.
A pale golden name like this is already equivalent to the top identity in troubled times, and it is a mythical hero.
Sure enough, he is worthy of being the general of the main city, this identity is really amazing,
However, what surprised Li Xu even more was that the long general saber that the town guard general was carrying on his waist was exactly the same as the tattered iron sword in his package, but it was only two-thirds of the sword body broken
The respectful attitude of the soldier commander, I see
"Dear General, this is my letter of recommendation, the village chief asked me to come and join the Terran Legion." Li Xu respectfully walked to the general's side and handed over the letter of recommendation with both hands.
"Against fate, yes, you're a polite lad." General Wang Yu took his letter and said with appreciation.
Swish!
As the town guard general received the letter of recommendation, with a wave of his hand, a golden halo flew into Li Xu's body.
Ding System: Congratulations to the player for fighting against his fate, you have successfully opened the new main quest [Road to the Army], please continue to talk to the town guard general. Rewards: 1 Career Promotion, +10 Fame, +300 XP, +30 Credits!
What is prestige?
Looking at the system prompt, Li Xu was stunned.
"Young man, you have passed Li Hu's courage test, which means that you have met the qualifications to join the military camp, presumably your village chief has explained the current situation to you, right?" The town guard general asked gently.
"Yes, my mission is to join your legion and fight against the encroachment of demon beasts." Li Xu nodded.
"Very good, our army needs a few more warriors like you, this is your career promotion certificate, take it to Yanwu Square to find your career mentor, remember, there is only one chance to choose a profession, please choose carefully." The town guard general said.
Ding Ding Ding
In an instant, the golden light flew again, and with the sound of experience numbers and coins beating, a pure golden token appeared in Li Xu's package
Ding system: You have accepted the career promotion selection, the prestige system is on, please look for the town guard general after level 20 and open the corresponding military rank!
Uh, prestige system?
Li Xu opened the character attribute interface suspiciously, and sure enough, he found that there was a new sub-interface on the interface, and there were four big characters of the military rank system on it.
But at the moment, perhaps because the level has not been reached, this interface is temporarily unavailable.
"Thank you, Shogun." Li Xu said respectfully.
"Go, valiant warrior, choose your class, grab your weapons, and drive all the enemies who invade our territory back to their homeland." The town guard general nodded with satisfaction.
"I see, but General, I have one more task that I need your help with." Li Xu said.
"Oh, tell me, what else does General Ben need to help you?" The town guard general asked suspiciously.
"Honorable General, what do you think this is?" Li Xu took out the rusty broken sword from the package and handed it over with respectful hands
"What! Brother Ye's sword, how can it be in your hands! The town's eyes widened with excitement, looking at the broken sword in front of him, stretching out his trembling hands, grabbing the broken sword and holding it tightly to his chest
His tiger eyes seemed to be flushed immediately
This broken sword, there is a story, Li Xu instantly understood.
"Tell me, how did you get this saber?" The town guard general seemed to be holding back his grief and asked anxiously.
"This was given to me by a tailor from the novice village, and asked me to ask you for help." Li Xu hurriedly replied.
"That's right, Mrs. Sister-in-law is indeed a tailor, I don't know what is important for Mrs. Sister-in-law to ask you to find me? She's not going to get in any trouble, is she? The town guard general asked suspiciously.
"Here's the thing" Li Xu immediately told in detail about the search for Xiaobai, the discovery of the Snow Wolf King, and the encounter in the novice village
He knew that since he received Li Erniang's task and found Xiaobai, a strange plot was unfolding to him
This hidden serial quest will be a huge story quest!
"Brother Ye and I, back then, were only two lieutenant generals, and in order to save my life in a battle, he did not hesitate to help me block the attack of high-level demonic beasts, so as to lead the sword to kill people. This broken sword is one of the relics I sent back to my sister-in-law. Since my sister-in-law asked you to ask me for help with a sword, I will definitely find out the truth about this matter. The town guard general said with red eyes.
Ding System: Congratulations to the player, you have successfully opened the second ring of the chain of quests [Hidden Truth], please come and take the next quest after level 15!
"Fight against fate, you first choose a career with peace of mind, I will immediately send someone to investigate this matter, find out what the identity of that Xiaobai is, and what happened to the novice village, and wait for your strength to meet the requirements, and then come to me." The town guard general said.
"Yes, General." Li Xu nodded respectfully, knowing that there was nothing for him to do now, and if he wanted to continue to do the task, he could only upgrade the level first.
"Take this sword and cherish it." The town guard general stretched out his hand and handed the broken sword over again.
"Understood, General." Li Xu nodded and took the broken sword.
After a respectful salute, he turned and walked down the steps, where he was escorted away from the crowd by the captain of the soldier amid the surprised eyes of a group of players
"Fight against fate, the general admires you very much, and you must work hard to kill the enemy." The soldier commander gave him an appreciative look and turned back to his place.
"Thank you, big brother, soldier." Li Xu thanked him, and as soon as he turned around, he was surrounded by three dead friends.
"Xuzi, what the hell are you doing, why are NPCs so polite to you?" Zhang Xiaolei looked at him suspiciously.
"Damn, it's so godly, there are NPCs to help you lead the way, no one has this blessing." The horse exclaimed.
"Xuzi quickly say, what method did you use?" Rice Bucket asked curiously.
"It's nothing, didn't I say that I received a hidden mission in the novice village, and I happened to be looking for the general, and the soldier commander took me over, it's as simple as that." Li Xu said with a smile.
He also wanted to share his secret with his friends, but now, how this strange affinity came about was still a mystery, and once he said it, he didn't know how to answer
In order to avoid trouble, it is better to hide it in your heart first, and then tell them when you figure it out.
"Well, okay, let's take you to the rank first, and then go out to celebrate and eat." Zhang Xiaolei said with a smile.
The four die-hard friends got out of the crowded courtyard, walked out of the gate, and walked happily towards the Yanwu Square on the side of the city
Passing through several streets, the four of them marveled at the sheer size of the city and the realism of the virtual world, arriving in a wide square
In the middle of this square is a giant ring for martial arts, and the surrounding space is enough to accommodate more than 100,000 spectators.
Along the perimeter of the ring, three-story buildings are connected to enclose the square.
At the door of each building, a tall NPC wearing different class attire stands, and at this time it is surrounded by a large group of players, as if they are all receiving career promotion tasks.
"Asahiko, your shield warrior mentor is over there." Zhang Xiaolei pointed to a building in the southeast corner and said.
"Okay, you wait a minute." Li Xu nodded and strode towards a group of players
Struggling to squeeze to the middle, I saw a burly, tiger-backed heavy armored shield warrior, standing there majestically, with a huge shield behind his back and a short sword at his waist, standing there as if a god had descended to earth.
The image of the shield battle mentor in front of him made his eyes light up.
The appearance of the shield warrior in troubled times is so handsome!
