Chapter XXII
Exiting the portal, he entered Rugoin.
Compared to Camp Rogue, the city is significantly larger.
In the distance is a tall and majestic stone wall, and the city wall is full of soldiers on guard, and the pedestrians around are hurried, lively but not noisy.
Adventurers quietly await a mission from the city.
The quest hint finally sounded:
"Lu Gaoin's six missions are being released. ”
"One: Clear the lost city and contribute 500 points. Kill the Dark Elder to get bounty points and rune stones. ”
"Two: Clear the maggot nest and contribute 600 points. Kill the Ice Worm to earn Bounty Points and the King's Staff. ”
"Three: Clear the Claw Viper Temple, and contribute 600 points. Kill the Six-winged Viper Tooth to gain bounty points and a Heradic staff head component. ”
"Four: Clear the mysterious shelter and contribute 700 points. Kill the summoner to earn bounty points and holy refuge scrolls. ”
"Five: Clear the Seven Ancient Tombs. Contribute 1,400 points. For each Tomb Clearance completed and the Tomb Guardian Soulless Card killed, you will receive a one-seventh bounty quest and an undead skill scroll. ”
"Six: Clear the palace prison and contribute 1,800 points. Kill Duriel to earn Bounty Points and a Double C Special Weapon. ”
"The official start time of the mission: 8 o'clock tomorrow. ”
It turned out that the second mission was not immediately launched.
After listening to the prompts, the adventurers began to exchange ears, apparently discussing what to do next. Some of the lone adventurers began to form gangs, apparently knowing the importance of the team in this mission after suffering losses in the previous competition.
"There is a change in the mission. As soon as he saw this mission announcement, King Kong immediately said, "It's different from the game. ”
"Not only that, but even the mission map is gone. Wen Wen also said: "Now there is no direct goal, and we have to find it ourselves, but fortunately, the city has given us time." ”
This avoids exacerbating the confrontation between the adventurers, and at the same time gives everyone the opportunity to discuss cooperation. Shen Yi replied: "This is called the coopetition mode." ”
"So during this time, we can only look around, what has happened?" asked Hong Lang.
"I don't think so. Shen Yi raised his head and looked at Decca Kane in the distance.
Adventurers are roadblind on this continent, is Decca Kane too?
Hope rose in everyone's eyes at the same time, and Hong Lang laughed even more: "Head, you are really good, it is really useful to save this old man." ”
Since Hong Lang is currently the only one who has a friendship with Decakane, the matter of asking for directions is left to Hong Lang. After a few words with Dicakane, Hong Lang came back and told Shen Yi: "The old man does know where all the tasks are completed, and he can draw a map for us." However, as the coat of arms suggests, the map itself deducts 10 friendship points. In addition, each mission point is pointed out, and 10 friendship points are consumed, and the seven tomb addresses cost 20 friendship points...... Damn, this old man's price is so black, he didn't even have to answer ten questions, and he returned Lao Tzu's life-saving kindness. ”
Wen Rou immediately said: "Then first determine what tasks you are going to complete, and then ask the old man for a map." ”
The Broken Blade team can't wrap all the missions at once, so there's no need to find out all the mission point addresses.
Shen Yi: "Then let's make a decision based on what the career task is." ”
Since there is still time, it is best to find out the content of the career task first, and then decide which task to grab.
Just then, Diccakane suddenly walked over.
He bowed to Shen Yi, obviously the old guy saw at a glance that Shen Yi was the leader of this group. Then the old man said, "Dear heroes, I am very excited to hear that you are going to slay those demons from hell. But before you go, I have a small request for your help. ”
Everyone looked at each other and realized that there was a drama in it.
"Respectful and wise elders, if there is anything you can do to help you, you can just ask. Shen Yi gave the other party a sycophant very interestingly.
Sure enough, DeCakane said, "I wonder if you know about Heradic?"
"The Great Society of Human Mages?"
In the world of Diablo 2, Heradic is a well-known organization. During the invasion of the Three Demon Gods, the Heradic Organization took on an important mission to protect humanity. Mephisto among the Three Demon Gods was first sealed in the Soul Stone, followed by Diablo. Decades later, the escaped Baal returned to Earth in an attempt to snatch the Soul Stone once more, only to miscalculate once again and lose to the most powerful Hradic mage of the time, Tarasya. As the years passed, the Three Demon Gods gradually came out of the seal, thus forming the story of the Diablo world.
For the current continent of Edres, Heradic is a legendary name, the patron saint of the world.
In the world of Diablo 2, the ins and outs of Heradic directly constitute the most important content of the entire second act scene, and all related tasks almost revolve around it.
Now that the old man Decakane suddenly mentions Hradik, it obviously has a huge meaning.
"Yes, I think you've heard of the Staff of Heradic. ”
Shen Yi replied: "A magical staff, I heard that it can open the hidden secret room. ”
"Oh, the rumors are always wrong, but it's actually a divine weapon with power/mana, and it's the biggest thing that Tarasia can use against Baal. The old man spread his hands and said, "It is the treasure of Lu Gaoin's town." It is precisely because of it that the demons of hell do not dare to invade easily. But that all changed not so long ago, and someone stole it. Although Rugoin's mages eventually found him and killed him, they were unable to retrieve the Hradic Staff. From that day on, Lugoin was plunged into darkness and demons from hell began to invade the area. Only by retrieving the Hradic Staff can Rugoin be saved from an endless demonic invasion. ”
As Decca Kane finished speaking, the blood emblems of all the members of the Broken Blade Team rang at the same time:
"In the second step of the continuous mission, Deccacairn's commission is activated. Accept Decakane's request and help Decakane recover the Hradik Staff. Mission Complete: Friendship with Decakane increased by 200. Mission Failed: 5,000 Blood Points deducted. ”
Shen Yi and the others finally understood.
This is indeed a continuous quest that can only be started after completing the main quest to rescue Deccachin in Arena 1. In the original plot, the Staff of Heradic was originally the key to the door to the tomb where the Pain Lord Duriel was killed, but this time, the situation has changed slightly. Due to the open-ended nature of all missions, the Staff of Heradic is no longer the key necessary to kill Durel, but has become the key to successive missions, and the plot has changed accordingly.
Since the failure of consecutive missions means deducting 5,000 blood points, the mission penalty is actually quite light for the whole team.
The problem is that Shen Yi and they are now facing a main quest that needs to race against time, not only to do the main quest but also to do the professional quest, and to accept continuous tasks at this time is really lacking.
Everyone looked at Shen Yi at the same time, and at this moment, it was only up to him to make a choice.
Shen Yi lowered his head and thought about it, and said to Dicakane: "I need to discuss it with my partner." ”
"No problem. The old man retreated.
The six members of the Broken Blades team quickly had a meeting, and everyone communicated in French and Arabic at the same time.
Shen Yi lit a cigarette for himself before saying, "What do you think?"
"I recommend giving up. King Kong replied: "This mission is different from the previous ones, the competition is too fierce, and we simply don't have time to complete consecutive missions." Once we take it, we are faced with three choices: the main quest, the career quest, and the continuous quest, and the difficulty of completing the quest will be greatly increased. ”
Gentleness objected: "I think this task can be continued." My reasoning is that this sequential quest doesn't really contradict the main quest. The second and third main quests are the key to combining the Hradic Staff, and the only thing missing is the Hradic Cube, which combines the two components. In other words, after accepting this quest, we only need to find the Hradik cube and take down the main quests 2 and 3 to complete it. So this sequential quest is not completely separate from the main quest, but complements each other. ”
King Kong immediately said: "Then we have to go to the Temple of Death to find the Hradic Cube, not to mention one more location, what about career tasks?"
Gentle replied immediately: "There are opportunities for career tasks, even if you miss this time, you can take them again in other task worlds in the future." But by missing this back-to-back mission, we may lose the opportunity to get an equally important reward. ”
"What important reward?" asked everyone at the same time.
Shen Yi had already spoken: "Heradic cube." ”
The Heradic Cube, one of the quest items in the Dark World, has a magical item combination ability, which can be said to be the most valuable reward in the Dark World.
Although Shen Yi and the others don't know whether the Heradic cube will appear in this mission, and whether they can continue to maintain that powerful item combination ability, since the task about Heradic has come out, they should try it anyway.
Only this time, the adventurers faced not only powerful monster guards, but also the tight execution time and possible competition between adventurers.
"I remember the Heradic cube in a golden chest in the Temple of Death. That chest wasn't obtained by killing the boss, so if Bloody City hadn't changed that, it might have been a good idea. "Zhou Yiyu is a veteran player of the dark game, and he knows this better.
Shen Yi shook his head and said: "It's hard to say, but one thing is certain: there shouldn't be anyone competing for us in this task itself, and we can do it slowly." ”
"And what do you mean next?" asked King Kong.
"Nope. Shen Yi shook his head and replied, "Career tasks are more important than the Hradik Cube. Hong Lang, you go to the palace now, and let's take a look at the relevant content of the career task before making a decision. ”
Shen Yi threw Zeus to Hong Lang.
It didn't take long for Hong Lang's loud voice to sound in the team channel: "Shen Yi, there are seven basic classes here, which are Paladin, Barbarian, Necromancer, Mage, Druid, Amazon and Assassin, but there are specific categories under each class. ”
"Write down the type and content of your occupation and send it to me. ”
"Understood. ”
Career profile information about the Dark World was sent in quickly.
As Hong Lang said, the richness of the profession in the dark world has far exceeded the original career plan of the darkness. Underneath each basic profession, there is a more specific distribution of occupations.
For example, the barbarian warriors that Hong Lang loves are divided into three types: roaring warriors, berserk warriors, and storm warriors. The Roaring Warrior can accommodate all Roaring attack skills. Berserker has abilities that increase the strength of melee attacks. The Storm Warrior contains wind-based melee skills.
As for the holy warriors, they are divided into halo warriors, shield warriors, and guardian warriors. The Halo Samurai can accommodate melee Aura abilities. The Shield Samurai can accommodate all shield-type abilities. The Guardian Samurai can accommodate melee defense skills.
Basically, there are three specific classifications under each basic occupation.
As for the strong attack warrior that Shen Yi has come into contact with, he has not seen the combo warrior and other professions, which should be all professions that are not available in this mission world.
It's rare for a quest world to have so many classes, and it's rare to see it in the entire Bloody City setting. As King Kong said, the gaming world is the easiest world to get a class.
Shen Yi took a special look at the requirements for having the Berserker class:
Requires killing at least 100 monsters above level 5 and obtaining at least 10 Brave Souls. After turning in the Soul of the Brave, you will receive a Berserker Medal, which will officially open the career slot.
The Soul of the Brave can only be obtained from boss-level monsters after accepting the quest, and there must be no defenses when fighting the bosses. During the mission, the mission recipient must not accept any form of assistance from any other adventurer, otherwise it will be invalid.
This relieved everyone at the same time, there is obviously no big conflict between the career quest and the main quest, and everyone can complete it in the process of carrying out the main quest. As for the combat requirements of this professional mission, it was simply too easy for Hong Lang, and it was exactly in line with his usual fighting style.
The class, in itself, should be a choice that suits one's fighting style.
"Take this task, Flood Wave. Shen Yi said.
Hearing this, Hong Lang's laughter came from the channel.
But then the fat man cried and said, "Then what should I do, boss, the professional task of the guardian samurai is to kill eighty monsters above level five, including eight boss monsters." ”
The drawbacks of the reinforcement of inequality are finally revealed at this moment, and while Hong Lang seems to be relaxed in the face of his task, the fat man's task becomes extremely difficult, even if his professional task is less demanding than Hong Lang.
Shen Yi smiled slightly: "You don't choose that." ”
The fat man was stunned: "Then I choose the shield warrior?" but the shield warrior also has to ......."
Shen Yi had already interrupted him and said, "Who said that to be a meat shield, you have to choose a guardian warrior or a shield warrior? No, your profession is a halo warrior." ”
Halo Samurai Class Quests:
Fight the Demon King of Hell for three minutes and survive. During the heads-up period, you must not accept help from any adventurers.
