Chapter 812, 813 Recruiting Mercenaries (7000 words)

This Charis is also an old man, with a long black beard, although he is also a mission NPC, but his status is superior to the surrounding NPCs.

Charis's eyes widened, and he looked at the items handed over by Xiao Hua, and immediately smiled: "Oh, generous adventurer, Lord Roderick, you will be proud to have an adventurer like you living in his castle."

What Xiao Hua handed over was not an ordinary item, but a number of twenty skill fragments of each number and nearly ten pieces of purple equipment, in addition to hundreds of blue suits, these things were Xiao Hua's harvest today

The harvest of this day is far beyond Xiao Hua's imagination, he never imagined that he would hit so many skill fragments so easily, I don't know if it was the reason why he was the first to enter here, those monsters are all rich

System Prompt: You paid "Skill Fragment No. 11" to the city lord Roderick, and received a reward of 5 contribution points and a 50-point reduction in PK value

System Prompt: You paid "Skill Fragment No. 7" to the city lord Roderick, and received a reward of 3 contribution points and a 30-point PK reduction value

......

A system prompt rose from Xiao Hua's eyes, and Xiao Hua found that paying skill fragments below the number 10 can only get 3 points of contribution and a reduction of 30 PK points, while the number 11 to 20 skill fragments are rewarded with 5 points of contribution and a reduction of 50 points of PK value.

As for the purple suit, it is basically 1 purple suit that increases the contribution by 1 point and decreases the PK value by 10 points. Not to mention the blue suits, there is no reward for a large number of blue suits to smash down.

Xiao Hua looked at some rewards, a little sweaty, all the items were paid to the city lord, and he only reduced the PK value by less than 1,000 points, which was much lower than he expected.

However, this reward is not single, there are also contributions, Xiao Hua thinks about it like this, but it is also a lot more balanced.

In fact, as long as the explosion rate of monsters can be maintained, after he is familiar with monsters, he hires a team of mercenaries, plus Xiao Hei or Jana, the speed of fighting monsters should increase greatly.

Xiao Hua didn't pay for all the items, and he still had two skill fragments numbered 15 and 17 in his backpack, both of which can be traded, and if they are sold in the future, they should be able to sell for a lot of money.

As for those bound pale red skill fragments, it is not of much use for Xiao Hua to keep, so he naturally pays them all in exchange for contribution and reduces PK value.

"The contribution value is already 87 points, and after accepting the mission, it shouldn't be a problem to recruit a low-level mercenary. ”

Looking at the newly appeared contribution value on the attribute panel, Xiao Hua inspected the newly refreshed tasks in the task hall, and after accepting a few tasks, he walked towards another building in the city.

Above the gate of this building, there is a pattern of a sword and a round shield crossing, this is the mercenary union of the city of divine punishment, here, as long as you have enough contributions and gold, you can recruit the mercenaries you want to help fight and hunt treasures.

The spacious hall was quiet and a little deserted, Xiao Hua walked straight to the window in the middle, and said to the npcMM inside: "I want to recruit a mercenary." ”

"Okay, depending on your contribution, these are the lists of mercenaries you can recruit, with an approximate introduction to each mercenary and the price you need to recruit them. npcMM smiled slightly, and handed Xiao Hua a stack of parchment paper with about twenty sheets.

Xiao Hua actually wants to recruit a priest-type mercenary, but this is the first time he is recruiting mercenaries, and he wants to see what the mercenaries of all professions are like, otherwise, according to his current contribution, if he only asks NPCs to show the list of priest-type mercenaries, it is estimated that there will only be a few mercenaries to choose from.

After the contribution value is higher, the number of mercenaries that players can recruit will increase significantly, and players will have to use various filtering functions, otherwise they will have to look at a large number of mercenaries, and they may not be able to find satisfactory mercenaries.

Xiao Hua curiously took the parchment from NPC's hand and looked at it carefully.

The information on this parchment is almost the same as the real-world archive, with a picture of the mercenary in the upper left corner, and a description of the mercenary's attributes in the lower part on the right side of the picture. In terms of attributes, including the mercenary's gender, occupation, level, and even height and weight

However, after Xiao Hua glanced at the attributes of several mercenaries, he found that the detailed attributes of the mercenaries he wanted to know the most, such as HP, attack, defense and other attributes, were not mentioned, but there was a comprehensive strength assessment there, Xiao Hua looked at the strength of several mercenaries, all of which were rated as F-level, in addition, there is also a mercenary that can judge the approximate strength of the mercenary, that is, the skills that the mercenaries have, which can be viewed from the data, but the detailed attributes of the skills are also unknown, only the names of the skills are listed above.

Some of these skills are the same as those owned by the player, while others are slightly different, and the detailed attributes can only be guessed by yourself.

"Hey, how can there be such a low-level mercenary?"

Xiao Hua flipped through the information of several mercenaries in a row, making some subtle differences, but at this time, he saw that the level of a mercenary was only level 23, and the previous ones were between level 65 and 69, and such a low-level mercenary appeared in front of him, which surprised him greatly.

Although his contribution is still very low, it is useless to bring out such a low-level mercenary.

"May I ask why such a low-level mercenary appeared?"

If you don't understand, just ask, Xiao Hua didn't be polite to npcMM, and asked her curiously.

"Oh, well, when a player hires a mercenary, the mercenary will also gain experience, but don't worry, the mercenary won't lower the experience you should have gained. If the mercenary's level increases and he returns to the city alive in the process of following the player, the next time the player comes to recruit a mercenary, or even again, the mercenary will inevitably be on the recruitable list.

Of course, this is only one of the benefits. The level increase of the mercenary will increase the favorability of you, and sometimes after the level increases, special events will occur depending on the situation. For example, giving you a hidden quest message, giving you rare items in the game, etc. So if you take a fancy to a certain mercenary, slowly bring it up from the low level, and there may be unexpected surprises.

However, I have the obligation to remind you that mercenaries also pay attention to potential, and not every mercenary level increases, the above events will occur, and choosing a mercenary is the most important step. If it's too troublesome, I think adventurer you should just choose a mercenary with advanced points, which will be more valuable to you, adventurer. ”

"So every time I hire a mercenary, the mercenaries I encounter are random?"

Xiao Hua's understanding of the mercenary system was only the most preliminary, and after listening to the NPC's explanation, his heart was full of questions.

"Yes, all adventurers, mercenaries can only be recruited once a day, and the list of mercenaries is random, but the mercenary who returned from the adventurer last time with the adventurer, according to the last encounter he encountered, has a good chance of appearing again. ”

Xiao Hua listened and nodded, it turns out that there are still such rules.

There are still more than a dozen copies of mercenary information in his hand that have not yet been watched, Xiao Hua stopped asking questions for the time being, and looked at them carefully.

Next, he saw two more low-level mercenaries one after another, plus the one in front, there were already three low-level mercenaries. Among the three mercenaries, two of them have the most basic attack skills, but without exception, their strength is rated as the lowest G-level, if the player directly does not include the G-level mercenaries in the list of mercenaries to choose from at the beginning, then he will definitely not be able to find these low-level mercenaries.

Xiao Hua knows that there must be players who do this, but since this is just a game, there is also a forum, the existence of low-level mercenaries, and the benefits of cultivating low-level mercenaries, players who are a little interested will know it. However, he is the first player to enter the Sin Lands, but he can't enjoy this benefit, and it can only be said that fortunately, his contribution was too low at the beginning and he didn't set strict screening conditions.

After listening to the NPC's explanation, Xiao Hua has the idea of cultivating a low-level mercenary, but npcMM also made it very clear that cultivating a mercenary also depends on whether the mercenary has the value of training, and the mercenary with bad potential is just a waste of time to cultivate, even if the favorability is high, the mercenary's strength is not up to par, even if he works hard to become a follower in the end, it is not of much value.

In this stack of mercenary materials in Xiao Hua's hand, there are four low-level mercenaries, ranging from level 15 to 38, according to npcMM, the level of mercenaries is not so difficult, at least it is much easier than that of players, but Xiao Hua shook his head after looking at the attribute information of these four mercenaries, instead of recruiting these mercenaries who have no special features, but recruited a level 68 priest.

The strength of this priest is rated as F-level, and the strength is naturally not very good, only the single healing technique and the basic state aura skill, it is estimated that the treatment effect is not much better, but Xiao Hua recruited him, the most important thing is to mix the recruitment time and survival rate, as for the treatment effect, as long as it is not strong enough to allow him to deal with the monsters of a monster camp, he will not care much.

Although in the Sin Land, due to the existence of monsters such as red-robed mages, the consumption of potions is very high, but Xiao Hua already has a solution that can allow him not to return to the city to replenish the potions for a long time

"Recruit for three days, the cost of this mercenary is 10,000 gold coins per day, a total of 30,000 gold coins are needed Thank you for your patronage, the mercenary union has sent someone to inform this mercenary to come, please wait a while. Also, since this is your first time recruiting mercenaries, I am obligated to remind you that when the recruitment period is over, the mercenaries will automatically leave your party and return to the city. Your offline time will be counted in the normal recruitment time, and when you are offline, the mercenary will stay near the same place, so once you decide to go offline, it is best to go where there will be no monster spawns, and my personal recommendation is to return to the city, otherwise the mercenary may be attacked and killed, and then disappear. ”

After Xiao Hua handed over the list of mercenaries who had decided to recruit and paid the 30,000 gold required for recruitment, npcMM gave him some advice that he didn't know about.

"Okay. Xiao Hua nodded, these things are indeed to be paid attention to, especially if you want to cultivate low-level mercenaries, you will hang up halfway through training, which is a headache.

After Xiao Hua waited for a few minutes, an ordinary-looking middle-aged male priest appeared and followed Xiao Hua, who took the mercenary and walked towards the attached pharmacy.

In the pharmacy, Xiao Hua bought a large package full of recovery potions, and then, Xiao Hua went out of the city, smiled, took out the crystal turtle shell, drilled into it, and threw all the potions on his body to the ground of the crystal turtle shell

This is the way he thought of solving the potion problem, as long as there are potions piled up in a room, even if the potions are consumed quickly, he doesn't have to worry about not having potions to use

But things were not as rosy as Xiao Hua imagined.

When he returned to the city and bought potions again in the pharmacy, he found that he had only bought a small portion, and there were no potions available for him in the pharmacy.

"Dear adventurer, the supply of potions in the city of divine punishment is tight, your potion supply limit for today has expired, please come back tomorrow. ”

The pharmacy owner said respectfully to Xiao Hua at this time.

Is there a limit to the supply of potions in the Sin Lands?

Xiao Hua was shocked, he didn't know there was such a thing.

Glancing carefully at the number of potions in the backpack, Xiao Huameng found that the number of potions he had purchased before, it seemed that it was just the number of spaces in his backpack, and it seemed that everyone in the Sin Land could only buy an escort equivalent to the number that the backpack could hold every day.

"Forget it, it looks like you still have to use the Forgotten Blade as your main weapon when encountering monsters with powerful outputs. ”

Seeing this, Xiao Hua could only give up the plan to buy a large number of potions, and then thought about it.

Legend has it that after the magic blade unlocks the fourth seal, the attack power is much higher than that of the forgotten blade, Xiao Hua in this day, in order to make killing monsters more efficient, he basically uses the legendary magic blade to attack, and the forgotten blade is only used in the face of monsters with powerful output, otherwise the potion does not need to consume so much. However, some monsters, such as the red-robed mage, Xiao Hua simply uses the blood-sucking attribute of the Forgotten Blade, but it can't add blood, and it still needs to be used together.

The magic shield of the red-robed mage can withstand a lot of damage, Xiao Hua's attack continues, the damage to the red-robed mage is actually not high, and the attack of the red-robed mage is quite perverted, if Xiao Hua does not use the potion, the recovery is very problematic.

This red-robed mage is not something that one person can resist, normally speaking, if you change to another player, even if you use a potion, you can't add blood, and you can only rely on the priest to support, which is why Xiao Hua wants to recruit a priest to help, if the recruited priest is not too bad, he can fight against a red-robed mage without using the Forgotten Blade or taking the potion, but if you want to fight against multiple red-robed priests, you still have to have a strong priest to help recover it.

"Now the tasks I take are all near the city, and I will come back every day to stock up on some potions in case I need them. ”

After learning that there was a purchase restriction on the potion, Xiao Hua also had an idea in his heart.

Obviously, with the strength of the monsters in the Sin Lands, as long as the outside continent of Allen is not ready to enter the Sin Lands, potions will become an important material to limit the development of a team in the Sin Lands.

After making up his mind, Xiao Hua took the priest mercenaries out of the City of Divine Punishment and walked towards the mission monster again. Due to the low contribution, the tasks he can take on are still relatively low-level, basically near the city, and it doesn't take much time to go back and forth, which is why he decided to go back to the city every day to stock up on medicines, if he has to run for half a day, he will definitely not do it.

Sneaking around outside the city and running fast, Xiao Hua found that the mercenary's speed was the same as his, and he didn't have to worry about the mercenary not being able to keep up, which made Xiao Hua feel a lot more relieved, if it was according to the priest's movement speed, he might not be able to get annoyed for a long time.

Despite this, it is still a dangerous thing to take a mercenary through a place with many monsters, and if you are not careful, the mercenary may be killed by monsters. So although he could sneak, Xiao Hua still didn't dare to move towards too many monsters, lest the mercenaries suffer accidents.

Soon Xiao Hua arrived at the mission location and began to brush up the mission monsters.

This mission monster is a giant wood ape, shaped like a chimpanzee, resisting a huge hard wood in his hand, the attack power and attack range are very terrifying, and the defense is naturally not low, the only thing is not a magic attack type of monster, which makes Xiao Hua feel a lot more at ease.

Monsters with magic attacks,It's rare in the Allen Continent.,In addition to the boss,The little monster is based on physical attacks.,Supplemented by magic attacks.,It's not important when it's important.,Little monsters rarely use magic attacks.。

But in the Sin Land, there are very few monsters that attack physically, but almost every monster can attack magically, and Xiao Hua has suffered a lot in these magic attack monsters.

Agile in moving his body, Xiao Hua dodged the attacks of the giant wood ape from time to time, and at the same time used the legendary magic blade to fight back. Although he was knocked by this huge guy from time to time, the priest mercenary behind him would treat him in time, although he could only add thousands of HP at a time, but with the potion, Xiao Hua didn't need to use the Forgotten Blade to simply kill this giant wood ape.

For Xiao Hua, it is always the first place to quickly kill monsters and complete the task with the highest attack power and obtain the PK value of skill fragments, as for not using potions and hoarding a lot, Xiao Hua has no such idea. Although hoarding potions has a lot of benefits, it is not enough for Xiao Hua to do it deliberately, there is a surplus in the process of killing monsters, and it doesn't hurt to hoard, if there is not much left, then forget it.

In the next two days, Xiao Hua took this priest to constantly do quests and farm monsters, going back and forth between the City of Divine Punishment and various quest locations.

During this period, Xiao Hua encountered another monster camp with a number of twelve, but looking at the five red-robed mages around the fire, Xiao Hua took a breath of cold air and gave up decisively.

Five red-robed mages attacked together, he definitely couldn't afford it, if he made a sneak attack, I was afraid that the priest mercenaries behind him wouldn't be able to kill a single enemy.

"Teams are too important in Sin Lands. ”

As he retreated, Xiao Hua thought in his heart.

This sinful place is simply designed for the team, even if someone like him is powerful, he has to be careful here.

However, this is not to say that he will never be able to deal with those monsters in the monster camp, as long as he can recruit a few more mercenaries, he will still have a fight

And in the past two days, Xiao Hua went to the mercenary union every day to see what mercenaries came out that day, and to see if there were any top-notch high-level or low-level mercenaries, no matter which one it was, he had the intention of recruiting.

However, his luck in recruiting mercenaries is not as good as the luck of farming monsters, he farms monsters every day to do tasks, and he can hit more than 20 skill fragments and ten purple suits, and at the end of the day, he can get hundreds of contributions and reduce the PK value of about 1,000, which is a very good result.

The probability of unbound skill fragments appearing seems to be very low, and Xiao Hua has only hit two unbound fragments in the past two days.

Mercenaries can be fired, but it's a pity that Xiao Hua couldn't meet the best mercenary he wanted, otherwise even if he dismissed the mercenary, if he didn't get back the gold coins he had spent, he would not hesitate to dismiss the priest mercenary behind him.

Unable to find the mercenary he wanted, Xiao Hua could only take this priest mercenary every day and run back and forth diligently.

Fortunately, this mercenary is an NPC, if it were a player, it would have been impossible to keep up with Xiao Hua's pace.

Another day passed, and Xiao Hua still went to the task hall first as usual this day, handed over the task, paid the items to get contributions and reduced PK value, and then went to the mercenary union as usual to check what kind of mercenary was refreshed today.

After taking the list of mercenaries that can be hired today from npcMM, Xiao Hua flipped through them one by one, and when he saw the picture and attribute skills of one of the mercenaries, his eyes suddenly lit up

......

......

On this day, cities in the second world are also bustling.

Today is the day of the first time to enter the Sin Land, and the professional union in every city in the second world is crowded with a large number of players, many players have arrived at the professional union early in order to enter the Sin Land early, and the players who are one step later are outside their respective professional unions, forming a long queue.

The time of entry is from six in the morning until six in the evening, and these twelve hours are the time when the land of sin is open for entry.

In addition to those who are happy and ambitious waiting to enter, many more players can only look at them with envy.

The task of entering the land of sin is too difficult, and one of the tasks is a strength assessment, and those who are not strong enough are ruthlessly kicked out by the system.

However, these players are disappointed and envious, and they are not too worried about not being able to enter the Sins Land all the time.

Because the NPC has clearly told every player who fails the mission, this is because the Sin Land is too sinister, the first time the strength is not enough, entering must be sent to death, and after the Sin Land is opened a few more times, players are familiar with the Sin Land, and the mission will become relatively simple.

"Curse them all"

However, there are also some vicious people, envious and jealous, cursing viciously in their hearts, hoping that what they can't get, others can't get either.

System Announcement: This week, the door to the "Sin Lands" opens, please enter the player by 6 p.m., to the respective professional union mentor to teleport in, once the time has passed, the entry qualification will be invalid

The time soon arrived at six o'clock in the morning, in an atmosphere of excitement and tension, with the sound of a system announcement, those players in the front of the professional union could not wait to talk to the professional mentor, and then disappeared in the professional union one after another.

"This is the land of sin?"

A large number of players who first appeared in the Sin Lands were shocked to look at the ruins of the black forest wreckage and the huge red moon in the west of the sky, feeling the desolate atmosphere

"Beware of monster attacks"

But before they had time to make more marvels at this strange scene, they all saw the appearance of fierce and fierce monsters around them

"This monster is so powerful"

After some players were unfortunately attacked by monsters, they looked at their bodies that instantly lost half of their HP and exclaimed loudly

These players, who had just entered the Sin Land, immediately cooperated with each other at this time, covering and attacking, carefully facing this strange monster.

The team that can enter here must not be said to be weak, and the cooperation with each other, if not impeccable, has quite a tacit understanding.

Despite this, in the land of sin, from time to time, there are one death white light after another.

Some of these players who died as soon as they came in were unfortunate enough to encounter more than three monster groups as soon as they entered, and some of them wanted to distance themselves from the monsters and fly kites to kill the monsters during the battle, but they miscalculated the hatred range of the surrounding monsters, and as a result, they were surrounded by multiple monsters, and then fell to the ground without being defeated.

Bursts of monster howls rose wildly under the silent red moon night, accompanied by angry and unwilling roars of players.

In the major cities of the second world, those players who were extremely envious of those players who could enter the Sin Land for the first time couldn't help but sweat profusely when they heard that a large number of players could not help but sweat profusely when they entered the Sin Land and just glanced at the red moon in the sky.

If you want to enter the Sin Land, you don't have a certain strength, it is absolutely impossible, and these teams that have the strength to enter the Sin Land were wiped out as soon as they entered, let alone them.

And those players who entered late did not rush to enter for a while, but decided to wait for the news.

With so many players in the Sin Lands hanging up, there must be a lot of news coming up in the game's forums that they might be able to avoid death.

For a while, many players who were still in line were happy in their hearts.

............

Today's update is complete.
