Chapter 15: The Night's Mission
Wrapping up the discussion about Tia the Widow's quest, players turn their attention to the second line of the plank that sleeps there.
The content of this line is familiar to everyone.
Hammer the Necromancer.
As the final boss of the Novice Village, Necromancer Hammer is very powerful - at least compared to players in the Novice Village stage.
When I first started playing the game, very few people were able to beat his dungeon without dying once or twice. Because of the Novice Village stage, the player's level can only be upgraded to level 10 at the most. Five level 10 players team up to fight this boss, and to be honest, it's not easy.
Therefore, the strategy on the forum suggests that players should not rush to fight this boss when they have practiced to level 10 in the novice village, and directly leave the novice village to do the main quest to increase the level cap. Wait until level 20 or so, and then come back to trouble this guy.
Level 20 players, as long as the T, DSP and milk are complete, there is basically no difficulty in beating this boss.
Most of the players in the later stages do this, and many of them don't even bother to fight this boss - the most valuable output of this boss is nothing more than the skull ring, and it is not really useful for others to get this ring except for wanting to become a necromancer. There are too many good things that can be used in the later stage, and there will always be old players in the auction hall who will sell something more valuable.
But when the game becomes a reality, it's a completely different story.
"Hammer must fight, the sooner the better!" Without waiting for everyone to discuss, Panda spoke first and set the tone, "It's too dangerous to keep this guy around!"
"That's right!" Sleepless nodded, and said seriously, "I don't know if you still remember what that copy looked like at the beginning—I do, that copy is a novice village that has been turned into a ghost village, and the village is full of wandering skeletons, and the inhabitants are no exception. If we don't kill Hammer as soon as possible, once it has gathered enough strength to make trouble, the Novice Village will most likely be the same as it was in the beginning!"
"The village of Kalipura is the closest village to our castle, it is rich in resources, and it is also a window for us to contact the outside world, and it cannot be destroyed just like that!" Yunero said.
"And the villagers are very nice, we can't just watch them get killed. Little Eggplant said.
"Defeating the boss and capturing the treasure is the duty of my generation of players!" Valkyrie started secondary school again, "I come, I see, I conquer." What else is there to hesitate about!"
The rest of the crowd nodded their heads in agreement.
So, it was decided.
But it's not easy to defeat the final boss of the novice village, when you first play the game, you can die casually, and if you die, it's just a matter of resurrecting at the entrance of the dungeon. But now, although everyone can still be resurrected, the resurrection location has become the guild crystal in the castle hall.
From there to the village of Kalipura, even if you use a fly, you have to fly for most of the day.
It's the equivalent of a game where you have to run for hours before you get back to the battlefield after you die - whoever wants to fight like this is crazy!
"We have a big advantage. Panda said, "It's not a game now, and there's no limit to the number of people in the dungeon." We can pull a whole bunch of people and besiege Hamer. ”
Changsun Wu suddenly laughed: "This is a good idea! He has beaten five people, can he beat fifty people?"
"If 50 people are not enough, then 100 people!"
"Damn, the hundred-man group, this is the treatment of the Demon King, the Archangel and the Dragon of Doom......" Sleepless smacked his lips, and couldn't help but mourn for the poor necromancer, while secretly calculating how many necromancer copies he would have to brush in the game to reach level 10.
Aside from these two tasks, most of the remaining tasks are of little value, nothing more than finding things, finding people, helping with farming, destroying wild beasts, and repairing fences...... Wait a minute. Some of them are more urgent, some are more relaxed, and in general, they all give the impression of "as if they can be repeated many times".
"These are the daily tasks issued by the village chief, how did you find out about Sleepless?" asked Valkyrie curiously, "When I talked to him before, he didn't tell me anything." ”
"My identity is different, I am a nobleman of the royal capital. Sleepless pretended to be a force, "He won't give you a task because you don't have much reputation in the village, and he doesn't have any friendship with you." But I'm different, I'm an aristocrat, and whether I have prestige or not, whether I have a liking for him or not, he has to answer my questions—and most of the time, honestly. ”
"So...... Let's concentrate on brushing tasks these days, brushing a few levels, and then team up to scare that necromancer Hamer?"
"Yes, destroy the wolves near the village, use the wolf's tail as evidence, and pay according to their work. ”
"I love this task. The panda smiled.
Everyone laughed too.
Then, they went out together.
Because they did not carry torches, they did not walk well in the night. The team such as Sleepless and Little Eggplant lack night vision. In the dark night, even if you rely on the starlight, you can only see the situation five or six meters in front of you.
But pandas, Yunero, and crushed ice can all see things at night. For them, not to mention that there is still starlight in the sky, even if it is a pitch black environment where they can't see their fingers, it does not affect their vision - it is just that the color tone of the scenery they see has become black and white.
The difference is that the panda has dark vision, Yunero has infrared vision, and Crushed Ice has magical vision.
Each of these three visions is different, but all of them are able to see their surroundings in the dark.
Dark vision perceives the world around it with spirit, infrared vision perceives the world around it by observing infrared rays, and magic vision looks at the accumulation and flow of magic power.
They have their own merits, in general, dark vision is the most stable, unless it is hit by a strong mental blow, there will be absolutely no error, even the color will not have the slightest error; infrared vision is the most easily disturbed, if unlucky, it may even be blinded by the strong infrared rays emitted by high-heat objects, but it can penetrate obstacles to a certain extent, and has a perspective effect; magic vision can clearly judge the natural environment and magic items, but once it enters the anti-magic area, it will lose its effect.
Generally speaking, it is more appropriate for an adventuring party to have at least one person who can see covertly. If there are three of them in a team, it can be said that they are very safe, and they basically don't have to worry about the danger from the dark.
Moreover, the few remaining people in the team are not bad at eyesight, as long as they protect the two quasi-night blind patients, the rest can take care of themselves.
The group walked in the night, listening to the sound of the night wind blowing the trees and weeds, and gradually moved away from the village and into the world of wilderness, beasts and monsters.
