Chapter 23: The Grey World (3)
A little more than eleven months ago in a certain village.
The lone player Sineps walked a little wearily towards the village chief's house, and of course he had come from a long journey. However, his heart was very excited.
According to the information obtained in the previous small village, the village chief here will give the player a quest chain with the main content of crusading monsters. At the end of this quest, you will receive a "very special treasure".
And the more unexplained but large-scale tasks this kind of, the more interested the players are. Of course, if you don't get what you want in the end, you can only consider yourself unlucky, but you can still look forward to it until the mystery is finally revealed.
It was in the process of Hinapus's imagination that he saw the village chief's big house, and at the same time the figure of a young man in red appeared on the other side of the road.
This village was located on the edge of the area, and if he hadn't stumbled upon information from the previous village, Sinapus would not have been killed. Comparing his heart to his heart, he believed that the young man in red at the end of his vision would not simply come for sightseeing.
Then, the most likely thing is that the other party has the same goal as you. This is actually not a big deal, after all, NPCs and quests are not exclusive to one person, but Sinapus doesn't want to line up and watch others talk to NPCs first.
If that's what the other party means......
At this thought, Sinapus preemptively ran away, completely running away from the fatigue. The young man who came to him was stunned for a moment, and then he also ran.
However, it seems that it is closer to Upper Shinepsy, as for the parameter values...... It seems that the other party is higher, and it is more than a notch!
The young man in red obviously started after Sinapus, and the distance was a little farther than him, but it was obvious that he was going to be the last to come first.
The situation is very bad, and if this continues, Sinapse will be defeated by a narrow margin, and end up with a chicken stealing and not a counter-defeat.
At this moment, he felt the slight impact of the saber behind his waist, and a flash of inspiration flashed. Immediately, he pulled out his golden luxurious-looking one-handed broad-bladed sword and stabbed it forward with force, launching a charge skill.
With the help of the correction brought by the skill, he finally arrived at the door of the village chief's house one step ahead of his opponent.
"Haha! I won......"
"Bang!"
There was no running race between the two at all, no one or the rules dictated who came first and who won. The young man in red rushed without slowing down, and flew directly into the air. Before Sinapus could finish his smug words, he was kicked out.
"What's wrong!" the bearded village chief rushed out of the house in a panic when he heard the movement, brandishing a dinner knife, worthy of being an anthropomorphic AI that was unanimously praised by players.
At the same time, Sinapus sprang up from the ground and rushed back to the young man in red with a furious face. He was going to kick it back, but he saw that the other party was already on guard, so he had to give up.
"You guy is so despicable!"
Sinaps said this as if he were not despicable if he ran away. In fact, the young man in red didn't pay attention to him at all, but looked at the village chief.
"I heard you need skilled adventurers?" he asked.
"That's right. You're here to help us?"
Hearing the title "you", Sinapus also straightened his posture. It seems that this task can be handled by two people at the same time.
"That's right, that's right. He immediately laughed.
"I appreciate your kindness. But how do I know if you're skilled?"
"I was introduced by Lu Xikan, the captain of the garrison of Lufang Village. The young man in red replied without hesitation.
"I was introduced by Drutus!" shouted Sinapus as well.
"Oh! It's those two warriors, so you must be able to guarantee your strength! β
Feed!
Suddenly, Sinapus's face darkened. However, the young man in red did not lose his temper so much.
Sure enough, the village chief has a word for later.
"Hmm...... I'll tell you. Not long ago, a group of vicious wyverns lingered in the nearby mountain forest for a while, and although the villagers were not directly harmed, important livestock were lost. Now that they had left there and headed north, there should be several more villages in their path. So, I hope you can bring this news to the garrison of Erdandi City, Duluno, and ask him to deal with it. β
After the words were closed, the village chief turned around and went back to the house.
......
............
..................
"What's going on!" Hinaples exclaimed, seeing that there had been no task window for a long time. However, it may also be that bringing a message is not enough to be part of the mission.
"That's right!" just then the door opened again, and the village chief leaned out, "Can you please help me with something else?"
"Whatβ?" asked Sinapus, gritting his teeth, resisting the urge to slash the village chief with a sword.
"It's not a big deal, it's just that the northeast heath has a group of twilight coyotes, always interfering with the nearby trade routes, can you help us solve them?"
The words were closed, and the mission window finally popped out in front of the two.
What was there to hesitate about, Sinaps nodded very dryly, and the same was true of the young man in red.
"Very well!" the village chief nodded, "However, after all, the task is difficult, and I hope that the two of you must work together." β
The voice fell, and the unexpected happened. Without any inquiry, a prompt "Join the Squad" popped up in front of Sinaps, and a teammate's status bar appeared in the upper left corner of the view.
And that teammate was the young man in red who was close in front of him, because a unique golden cursor appeared on his head to indicate his teammates.
"What's going on!Forced teaming?How can there be such an unreasonable function!" shouted at the same time, Sinapus hurriedly carried out the operation of withdrawing from the team, but was not allowed.
The young man in red didn't seem to be able to do it either, so he simply didn't dwell on it, and turned around and planned to leave.
"Hey, you're leaving?" said Sinapus, trying to stop the boy in the back. It's not a one-person problem, and it can't be solved by one person alone, can it?
However, the young man in red completely ignored his plans and continued to move forward.
"You guy's a little polite, okay!"
Sinapus chased after him, and the anger in his heart reminded him of the kick he had just been kicked into. So, with a wry smile, he sped up and kicked the young man in red in the back.
And just as he was about to get his foot, the young man in red suddenly turned to one side and raised his left arm at the same time. As a result, Sinaps not only kicked the air with a blow, but also hit the boy's arm head-on, and the whole person flipped ninety degrees and fell to the ground.
"Get out of the way. The young man in red coldly dropped this sentence and walked away.
Sinaps lay on the ground, grinding his back molars while staring at the upper left corner of his vision, and then shouted unwillingly: "Li Mengxi, you wait for me!"
This is the beginning of the connection between the two people, purely accidental, even a systematic prank.
