Section 1 Centennial Mission
He, retracting the pair of wings wrapped in black mist behind him, landed quietly on the charred stone pile, looking down at the depression in the mountains at his feet. In the middle of the depression was www.biquge.info a snow-white, large skull, with fixed and open jaws for two people to pass side by side, and there was an entrance that led to the belly of the mountain, from which came the screams and wails of the maiden. The innocent girl was picking mushrooms in the mountains not far from the outskirts of the village, when suddenly a black shadow fell from the sky, and in the blink of an eye she came to this terrible hell. Along with the screams, there was the sound of flesh being torn apart and dismembered, and blood gushing out of the ground.
He, with a blank face, listened to the sound that was enough to make ordinary people tremble, and looked away from the area around his skull. The ground there was soft as a swamp, and on the filthy ground were countless soulless bodies, all of which were rotting in appearance, with hair falling out, severed limbs, some missing a piece of flesh on their faces, some with their ribs exposed, and those walking rotting corpses groaning meaninglessly and wandering aimlessly. Looking down from above, the depression is densely packed with such disgusting undead creatures, like a pot of wriggling maggots. The stench emanating from them filled the air, and the entire mountain range was filled with the smell of death.
He just quietly looked at the isolated realm of death in front of him, and after a while, he once again propped up his black mist-like wings and flew towards another mountain with the thundering black mountain range......
"Morning!on!good!" Alicia cheered enthusiastically, and the door was slammed open. And Talon, who was leaning against the door and sleeping on the door, was directly knocked to the ground by this sudden attack, his face was against the ground, and he spread out his feet wrapped in a sheet, crawling on the floor like a toad.
The body that was in close contact with the floor felt the cold temperature from the wood, which made the groggy Talon gradually wake up, and he opened his sleepy eyes and saw the girl behind him who had used abnormal violence to wake him up, and he couldn't cry or laugh.
"Ah, I'm sorry, Daron is here, I almost forgot. ”
“...... Alicia. ”
"Hmm, what's the matter, Darling?"
"I'm not going to bully minors, so in two years, you'll just wait and see. ”
"Actually let an underage girl wait for you for two years, you are really a bad man. ”
“......”
At this time, the two beautiful goddesses who had finished their morning worship happened to return. When Jaeline heard what Alicia said, she lowered her eyelids and said angrily to Daron:
"Please don't flirt in public, okay?"
An aggrieved Daron bit down on the sheet in resentment. Illana covered her mouth and smiled, and said in a gentle tone:
"You two, it's already time for breakfast, and we're about to call you downstairs. ”
"Oh yes, eat, eat!" said Alicia, who was in high spirits, and jumped downstairs. But after a while, I saw her run back quickly, with a look of surprise on her face, and she kept pointing downstairs with her hand, and said:
"Darlon, go and see, it's so lively downstairs!" With that, Alicia ran down again, what a restless fellow.
Daron, who didn't know why, asked Jay Erin with his eyes, and the short-haired crimson goddess shrugged her shoulders and said:
"It's the bounty hunters that the boss lady said yesterday, look at this battle is really big enough, it is estimated that there are hundreds of people. ”
"Hundreds?!" Bounty hunters are not a profession that acts collectively. Since most people work on a mission at the same time, the bounty is split evenly, so usually, bounty hunters either act alone or in temporary teams. It can be said that it is quite rare to encounter such a large group.
"Hurry up and get downstairs, or I'm afraid there won't be a place for us." After saying this, Jaireen took the saint downstairs.
When Daron saw this, he put the sheets into his room, straightened his bags, and went downstairs.
The scene downstairs is really exaggerated enough. Hundreds of neatly dressed people were crammed into the lobby of the hotel, which was less than fifty square meters, and the proprietress must have never greeted so many guests at one time, and she was very busy. Most of them were young and dressed in uniform attire, which was all too familiar to Darlon.
Running straight to the nearest long-haired man, Daron grabbed his shirt and asked:
"Which mercenary group are you from?"
The man who was arrested frowned, thinking that Talon had come to find fault, and he wanted to fight when he dropped the bread, and then he ......
"Yo, I said why are you so familiar, why are you here, Daron?" a somewhat deep voice sounded in his ears, Daron kept his hands on the collar of the long-haired man, and turned his head to look, where stood a middle-aged man of about 45 years old. His brown hair was combed back and his face was bearded, but the whole face with his piercing eyes gave a very capable impression. Like the rest of the hall, he wore improvised armor, except that he wore a brown cloak draped back over his shoulders.
"Sid! Haha, long time no see. Daron met the old acquaintance, and the two sides hugged warmly.
"Yes, you kid, you didn't look down on our mercenary group at the beginning, but now you are on your own, how much do you earn?"
"Hey, don't mention it. ”
Noticing the curious Alicia and the goddess officials around Darron, Sid laughed evilly and teased:
"I said Daron, let's not talk about making money, I think your Yanfu is not shallow!"
"Be careful, West Germany. None of these people are easy to mess with. Daron walked up to Alicia and began to introduce them to each other, "Everyone, this is the commander of the mercenary group when I was still working in the mercenary group, the head of the mercenary group of Sid Werner. Sid, this is my employer, Alicia. And these two are priests from Farris. For fear of causing a commotion, Daron did not reveal Illiana's identity for the time being.
"Employer?" Sid looked at the little girl in front of him who looked to be only in her early 16s with interest, "Do you dare to ask whose daughter it is?"
Alicia sneered, "Do you look like me?"
After looking at it politely, Sid said: "Well~~ Although the dress is a little simple, the temperament is extraordinary, and he must be from a noble family." Otherwise, I can't afford to hire this profligate guy, hahahaha!"
Suddenly, Alicia slapped Sid on the shoulder with one hand, which made him a little nervous, "Even if you know the goods, you are worthy of being the old mercenary captain, and you are well-informed." ”
"Haha, it's over. Looking at this little girl who nodded her head, Sid was a little embarrassed.
"Commander, since Daron used to be from your mercenary group, why did he leave later?"
"Well, this kid, with a high heart, has to obey orders in our regiment and values collective action. He wasn't used to it, so he decided to go out on his own. ”
"Sid, aren't you hurting me? You and I both know that this is not the case. Daron was dissatisfied.
"Haha, okay. Daron used to be a knight, you know?"
"Hmm!" both Alicia and the two priests nodded in agreement.
"Actually, so am I. The mercenary leader said something that surprised Alicia a little.
"Were you expelled from the Order?"
"Of course not, I think there are too many rules and regulations in the army, so I became a deserter, anyway, I have no father, no mother, no wife and children, and the country can't connect with my family, so I have become a free body. At first, he worked as a bandit, and later, this mercenary group was formed. ”
"Deserter, isn't that treason?" said Illana, frowning and worried.
"Haha, Lord Priest, the word state only manifests itself in two ways. One was during the war, and the other was when the salary was paid. I admit that I am treasonous, but I am doing well now, and this is more important than anything else. ”
"But......" Illiana seemed to be puzzled, but was interrupted by Jairene, and the words were swallowed back.
"But after I established the mercenary group, the Embrace of Ifrit, I began to train my men with the training methods of the Knights. And Daron, who entered our mercenary group, was touched by the scene after seeing this kind of exercise, so he left on his own. ”
"Hey, don't talk about people as if they're out of love......"
"Haha, being removed from the Knights isn't necessarily much better than falling out of love. Seeing that Daron and the others had been standing for a long time, Sid seemed to realize something, and invited the four of them to sit down at his table, and helped them order the most luxurious breakfast in the store. Halfway through, Sid noticed that Illiana was blind in both eyes, so he sat down and asked:
"I take the liberty of asking, is this the Holy Maiden of Light of the Cathedral of Light, Lord Iliana?"
"Hello. Illana didn't shy away from it, but it made Sid's eyes wide. Seeing that Daron on the side made a "shh~~" gesture to him, Sid resisted the urge to shout "Wow~~", pulled Daron's clothes, and said to him:
"You kid, you are capable! Even the Holy Maiden is willing to walk with you. ”
"I didn't travel with him, I just happened to foresee it last night. Illana smiled.
"This is also fate, Holy Maiden, would you like to bless us?"
Somewhat strange as to the reason for which West Germany said this, Daron asked:
"Blessings, are you going to do some dangerous business?"
"yes, you know, now we're bounty hunters, taking on the Centennial Mission. ”
"Centennial Mission?!" Daron was taken aback.
"What a centennial mission, Darron. Alicia was intrigued by the unfamiliar words.
"The quests of the Adventurers' Guild are hierarchical. Starting from the lowest difficulty E-level, to the highest level, A-level and even S-level, it can be completed alone, but only the Centennial Quest is strictly limited to being able to claim it in a group. These tasks are often extremely difficult tasks that have been put on hold for hundreds of years and no one can complete. Daron explained carefully.
"What are the E-Class, A-Class, S-Class, and Centennial Missions?"
"E-level quests,It's nothing more than easy work like finding lost pets,Delivering letters between towns and signing up on behalf of people.,The bounty quest we received is estimated to be only C-level.,To A-level,It's a maze exploration and slaying monsters and other quite dangerous jobs.。 As for the S Rank, only certified Bounty Hunters are eligible to claim it, and it is the highest level of mission that can be claimed by a single player. ”
"What about the Centennial Mission?"
"Most of the content of the centennial mission is quite exaggerated, some are to crusade against legendary phantom beasts and monsters, some involve the state and politics, and some are to solve supernatural phenomena that no one has been able to solve for a hundred years. ”
"It's amazing, so is this uncle the one who leads everyone to do this kind of task?"
"West Germany, the centennial task is not done by people, I advise you to take on some serious work, and don't joke with your own lives and those of your brothers. Dahlon looked at West Germany and suggested earnestly.
"Daron, you know, this is the most peaceful day in Amphelia, and mercenaries can't get decent work at all. Although A-level and S-class missions can be participated in in groups, it is not a long-term solution to feed so many people. I've calculated that as long as the three centennial tasks are completed, then everyone will have enough money to live a good life. ”
"Do you all have nine lives?"
"In fact, the centennial mission is not as terrible as you think, but no one dares to do it. We're all well-trained soldiers, and if we pick the seemingly mysterious tasks that aren't too difficult, we'll be able to secure our bounties. Secretly tell you, the hundred-year mission of 'Ghosts of the Great Plains', we have just solved, is just a group of ghost wolves with no intelligence. ”
"That's your luck, who knows what will happen next time. ”
"Look at my brothers, one by one, they are in high spirits, and now I tell them to stop, and they don't want to. Let's do it, we finish the next order and wash our hands. I know that the Adventurers' Guild in this town has a hundred-year quest with a reward of up to 20,000 gold coins!"
"What is it?"
“...... Necronomicon Mountain. ”
As soon as these three words came out, everyone present had an ominous premonition.
"Mr. Sid, I advise you not to go, for it is a bad ground that even our Cathedral of Light cannot purify. I was there with Jaireen on Seal Day four years ago, and you should hear what she had to say. Illiana said.
"I've seen it with my own eyes, it's not a world like us. Not to mention the undead everywhere, the entire mountain range is shrouded in dark clouds all day long, and we haven't advanced much before we can stand the miasma there. Jay Erin's description sent a shiver to Alicia on the side.
"Listen, West Germany. Where even the priests of Faris can't deal with, what's the use of you going, don't die in vain, let's find another way to make a living. ”
"Daron, you can't persuade me this time, we have made up our minds, after eating this breakfast, let's go!"
Seeing that he couldn't convince his old friend, Talon could only choose not to say a word. At this time, Alicia was communicating something with Jay Erin, sometimes scratching her head, sometimes hugging her chest, like a person who listens to ghost stories.
