Centennial Mission. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Unlike the bewildered townsfolk in Sandstone Town, Soldering Iron swore that he had just heard the words Centennial Mission in the mouth of this young man. In fact, anyone with even a modicum of knowledge of the history of the Church will know the weight of the centennial task—and it is no exaggeration to say that the completion of the centennial task symbolizes the highest glory that a knight can attain his lifetime.
"Haha...... Hahahaha! He said he was going to complete the 100-year mission!"
It was as if the soldering iron had heard a big joke, and he laughed almost hoarsely. During his years in Sandstone, he heard countless ridiculous dreams from the mouths of his adventurers.
Some people want to find the lost kingdom of Shakdam, others want to understand the cause of the formation of the Sandstorm Zone, and some even want to hunt the core of the monsters in the depths of the Sandstorm Zone...... But there was only a hundred-year mission, something he had never heard of in the mouth of any knight.
The townsfolk couldn't understand what the soldering iron was thinking, and for them, the young man took the monster's threat and gave the soldering iron a hard blow.
Lin Qiu turned around and walked straight in the direction of the tavern. Naturally, he didn't need the understanding of a person like a soldering iron, and from the moment he was willing to use his marking ability to dominate this remote town, he had already abandoned everything that belonged to the knights. The people of the town made way for Lin Qiu, Lin Qiu beckoned to Anna, and she immediately held Jörmungandr and trotted to Lin Qiu's side.
For him, Sandstone was just a small episode, and when he got the map of Shakdam, the war was announced.
The tavern had never been so lively, Lin Qiu and Anna sat closest to the counter, the tables behind them were full, and these townspeople who didn't know Lin Qiu could only secretly observe the heroes who saved them in this way.
"Guest, it's really yours. ”
The boss poured a glass of wine for Lin Qiu, and the strength of this young man was completely beyond his imagination. Along with the glasses, a piece of parchment was presented with black lines outlining Shakdam, and in the center of the parchment the various areas of the city were demarcated in detail.
Sandstone is located in the lower right corner of the map, and the path to Shakdam is marked in detail. This is an antiquity that is many times more advanced than the map given to him by Old Jack.
"My father's only wish when he was alive was to find the ruins of Shakdam, so the map marked the dangerous areas of the sandstorm in detail. ”
The boss added another glass for himself and drank it all: "The ordinary maps have been taken away by the Brotherhood of Sandstone, only I have the last one left, if you can find Shakdam, it will be considered my father's last wish." ”
"Your father was a knight too. ”
Lin Qiu suddenly remembered the rusty iron sword of the boss's son, which also seemed to be a product of old age.
"It's just a very ordinary knight, and you can't compare with the guests. When he heard that there were monsters near Sandstone Town, he went out alone...... Later, an adventurer found his sword in the desert and brought it back for me. ”
He still remembers how he felt when he received his father's sword, so from the day he hit him, he put all his father's knight-related relics in the utility room, including the nameplate of Shakdam's bodyguard, and his knight's sword: "You may never understand that being a knight is the most extravagant dream for ordinary people like us." ”
As he spoke, the boss laughed self-deprecatingly: "Haha, you just treat me as a drunk nonsense." ”
After a while, the door to the tavern was pushed open.
"Soldering iron, you still have the face to come back now!"
The people of Sandstone Town have denounced this man who has escaped, and after having a new "backer", they naturally won't give this villain who has bullied them for more than ten years a good face. The soldering iron completely ignored the shouts of the townspeople, and if it was in normal times, he would definitely kill these people who dared to scold him one by one.
He walked up to Lin Qiu's side as if no one was around, and put the money bag on the table: "Boss, bring me a glass of wine." ”
The boss was stunned for a moment and handed him a wine glass. In the past, the soldering iron never paid for drinking and eating here, as long as he didn't deliberately find fault after he was full of wine and food, the boss would be thankful.
After the boss turned his back, the soldering iron took out a stone printed with a cyan leaf-like pattern from the pocket of his jacket-like jacket and placed it in front of Lin Qiu: "I heard from the boss's son that you are going to Shakdam. ”
Lin Qiu nodded noncommittally.
"Since you're not afraid of death, take this with you by the way. ”
Lin Qiu put the stone in his hand and played with it, this stone brought him a faint coolness, and there seemed to be a streamer turning in the cyan leaf pattern.
"This cyan sigil is the coat of arms of the Slark family of the Shakdamwang clan, and I have heard others say that this stone can lead you to the secret treasure of the Slark family - I am already planning to leave here, if you believe it, you might as well look for it, if you don't believe it, throw it away." ”
The soldering iron scoffed, he never thought that one day he would give this stone to others. But this sneer is more of a laugh at himself. He used to be the captain of the knights of the Lord's Mansion of the Kingdom of Byron, and one day the city lord suddenly entrusted this stone to his hands and asked him to give it to the captain of the guard in Sandstone Town.
The lord of the city told him that the stone would lead the people to the great treasure buried in the depths of Shakdam. The day after he left, the news came that the city lord's family had been wiped out, and the killer was a member of the Spade Organization.
And when he came all the way to Sandstone Town, he heard the news from the boss that the captain of the guard had died at the hands of the monster. Ironically, it was he who found the Captain's sword from the corpse in the sand and handed it into the hands of the boss.
He was laughing at himself, in the past ten years, he had not mustered up the courage to go to that lost kingdom even once. He didn't have the courage to go back and track down the Killer of Spades.
The soldering iron drank the wine from the wine glass: "You're right, but the frog at the bottom of the well also has its own rules of life. ”
So before he was about to set out to investigate the events of more than ten years, he had to hand over the stone to someone else. And the boy who threatened to complete the centennial mission was the only person he could think of.
He'd seen too many adventurers on paper, and in his eyes, he didn't even have the qualifications to enter the Sandstorm Zone.
Lin Qiu put the secret treasure in his pocket: "This is the secret treasure you are talking about?"
"It could be a secret treasure, or it could be a curse, but isn't this the best thing for a knight like you who doesn't even want his life?"
"To correct me, it's not a knight who doesn't even want his life, but a great knight who is about to become famous in the world, Tyre Cyrus. ”
"Brecht, that's my name. ”
And this name has not been called for more than ten years.
