Chapter 42: Conflict
In addition to the tasks in the fantasy world can be obtained through formal task channels such as mercenary unions and professional unions, it is usually possible to get them by dealing with NPCs of the shape, and this type of trigger task is often unique, which can bring players a lot of fun and surprises, so in the fantasy world, there are many players who like to look for all kinds of NPCs to pursue some special tasks, but the things in this game are often similar to reality, and you may not be able to get what you want, but inadvertent encounters contain opportunities.
Just like the task that Xiao Yue got now, although there are many uncertain factors, such difficult tasks often have very generous rewards.
Xiao Yue walked out of the blacksmith shop satisfied, this trip was not in vain, he couldn't destroy the three-headed dog of hell, and it was also very cool to complete a high-level task!
Just as I was thinking about it, I unexpectedly bumped into someone at the door.
"Huh!" The two of them were surprised at the same time, Xiao Yue looked up, and saw that the other party was tall, dressed in standard paladin equipment, and had a stiff face with clear lines, all of which showed that this person was a person with a strong character.
While Xiao Yue looked at the other party carefully, the other party also looked at him in surprise.
At this time, another 6 or 7 players were walking over from not far away, and when they saw Xiao Yue and the paladin staring wide-eyed, they couldn't help but draw their weapons and surround them.
Xiao Yue secretly exclaimed, in this case, he was not willing to do something with someone without knowing it, but fortunately, at this time, the paladin waved his hand and said, "It's okay, don't panic, this friend is just passing by." ”
The paladin was probably the leader of this group, and as soon as these words came out, the atmosphere on the scene immediately eased, and several of them laid down their weapons. Xiao Yue smiled slightly at the paladin, broke out of the encirclement, and took the opportunity to slip away.
The paladin had been watching Xiao Yue's back walk away, and a player dressed as a mage stepped forward and asked, "Brother Zhan, what is this person doing, why did you let him go just now?" The paladin thought for a moment and replied, "I don't know who he is, but it's certainly not from there, he's just a neutral high-level hunter, and he doesn't seem to have any companions, so he probably came to take risks." More is better than less, most of the people who can come here are hard ideas, and if you have no choice, don't get into trouble! ”
The paladin, who was known as the big brother of the battle, seemed to be very prestigious, and everyone nodded their heads in understanding, and then entered the blacksmith shop together.
This little episode did not affect Xiao Yue's mood, he wandered around leisurely, every time he saw an NPC, he had to go up to climb and make friends, looking forward to receiving any new tasks, but unfortunately what disappointed him was that he had walked around the whole town and had no new gains.
It was getting dark, Xiao Yue came to the only bar in this small city, the name of the bar Xiao Yue was too familiar - Green Forest Bar, I didn't expect such a small and remote place to have its branches, Forest Bar is definitely a drag in the dream world.
As soon as he pushed the door open, Xiao Yue was stupid, he immediately held the doorknob with his hand, hesitating whether to close the door immediately, as if he had never been here.
In the small bar, the tables and chairs were all over the place, and the two teams were facing each other in tension, one of them was the team that Xiao Yue met in the blacksmith shop in the afternoon, and the other group was all players from the dark camp, necromancers, black knights, dark warriors, dark priests, etc.
Xiao Yue's sudden entry made the eyes of both sides of the confrontation turn to him at the same time, and at this time Xiao Yue suddenly woke up, such a small city that was almost on the verge of collapse was simply a place of chaos, and it was not expected that a team of NPC guards would come out to maintain law and discipline, that is to say, if you kill someone, you will be famous at most, and the opposing camp will be even more unscrupulous!
Maybe they will be the first to take Xiao Yue, this is not the afternoon, and the team may still have some habitual thinking.
The scene was deadlocked again, Xiao Yue was stuck at the door, facing everyone's gaze, it was a dilemma.
However, the deadlock was immediately broken again, and only the sound of steady footsteps could be heard from the staircase of the bar. Soon, a strong man came down from the second floor.
"Who made me sleep?!" The man shouted loudly, only to see that he had messy hair, a scruffy beard, and was dressed in tattered leather armor, a standard down-and-out shopkeeper.
Suddenly, a dwarf came out from under the bar, crying out repeatedly, "Boss, it's these two gangs of villains, they're about to smash your shop, and they almost killed me!" ”
The man was furious, took a long sword from the wall, put it on his shoulder, and shouted: "When you come to my shop, you must abide by my rules, smash my things, and quickly pay me 1,000 gold coins, otherwise you will look good!" ”
The two gangs laughed disdainfully, there are no guards in this city, even if you kill this shopkeeper NPC, it's not a big deal, and you actually have to pay them 1000 gold coins, I really don't know how to write dead words!
Xiao Yue looked at him coldly, he didn't take the opportunity to leave the bar, but slowly walked to the bar and sat down, smiled at the dwarf, and flicked a gold coin: "Please give me a glass of ale, a meat bread, I'm just an adventurer who travels far away, thank you!" ”
The man turned his head to look at Xiao Yue, a smile on his face, he waved his hand to let the dwarf do what Xiao Yue asked, and at the same time turned to the two groups with his sword.
At this time, Xiao Yue checked out the name of this man, an NPC bar owner - Sauter.
The paladin stepped forward, took out a few gold coins and said to Sauter: "Boss Sauter, you can take these 10 gold coins, which is enough to compensate you for your losses!" As soon as the words fell, the people in the dark team all started to laugh at him.
"The battle spirit is rampant, look at your bear-like, a broken NPC is scared, how to be the captain, it's better to go home and eat milk obediently!" A dark demon thief sneered in a strange way.
The battle aura on his face suddenly became a little unbearable, and even his companions looked at him a little wrong, and at this time, Na Sot didn't pay attention to him at all, which made him even more embarrassed.
With a heavy "snort", the battle spirit threw the 10 gold coins in his hand at Sauter, and then retreated to his own team, and at the same time made a decision in his heart, if the NPC didn't know how to lift it again, he had to kill it.
The 10 gold coins shone seductively and flew towards Sauter's chest. Sauter smiled coldly.
Suddenly, there was a great light in front of everyone's eyes, and the light almost stinged their eyes, and then only the clanging sound of the ground could be heard. After a while, when everyone's eyesight recovered, they found that Sauter was proudly holding the sword in his hand, the tip of the sword pointed to the front chest of the battle qi, and his whole body exuded an amazing momentum, and there were more than a dozen gold coins divided into two pieces scattered on the ground.
Just when everyone had not recovered from the shock, they heard a "click" again, and a large crack suddenly cracked in the heavy armor on the front chest of the battle qi, and the entire upper body armor cracked into two pieces with a "bang" and fell to the ground, revealing the dark red inner silk of the battle qi.
"It's high-grade sword qi!" Someone familiar exclaimed, and the audience was as silent as death. No one thought that this sloppy bar owner would actually be a high-level swordsman! The hand he showed just now, his mastery of sword qi had obviously reached the point of perfection, and it was definitely not something that the dozen or so players present could resist!
Sauter lazily withdrew his sword, and the awe-inspiring momentum of the moment was gone.
"1000 gold coins, half on one side, I don't want to say my words a third time!"
At this time, everyone thought that there were no guards in this small city, although there were no NPCs to control their actions, but did it mean that the actions of NPCs would also be ignored?
Thinking of this section, everyone felt a little chill in their hearts. The heroes don't suffer the losses in front of them, and soon, a necromancer in the dark team, and a battle spirit with an iron face and a blue face, respectively allocated the money to the dwarf who was smiling triumphantly.
At this point, the two gangs had no face to stay in the bar anymore, and they rushed out one after another, and a storm passed.
Xiao Yue, who had been watching the show for a long time on the side, let out a long sigh, he was also very surprised, although he had long seen that Sauter was extraordinary, but he didn't expect him to be so powerful.
"Boss Sot is really a real person! Admire! Drinking the ale in the cup in one gulp, Xiao Yue praised Sauter.
Sauter squinted his eyes at Xiao Yue, turned around and poured two glasses of ale from the barrel, personally brought it over, and after handing Xiao Yue a glass, he sat down opposite Xiao Yue.
"Player You Yun, you are much more courageous than those few wrecks just now, aren't you afraid that I will give you this too?" Sauter raised his glass and took a long sip of wine, squinting his eyes and asking Xiao Yue.
Xiao Yue smiled faintly and said, "If my estimate is correct, even if they don't give you money just now, you won't do anything to them, let alone me, an outsider." ”
Sauter's eyes flashed, and then he sighed: "Yes, player Youyun, what you said is not wrong at all, your world is not the same as mine, there are too many rules in my world, it seems that you have understood this." ”
"But," he raised his glass to Xiao Yue, his face full of a sly smile, "but if I have money to send it to the door, how can I push it out, the so-called three years of not opening, three years of opening and eating, no night grass and no fat!" ”
Xiao Yue was speechless, it seems that the mastermind is not omnipotent, and there are occasional misused idioms, this Sauter is one of the most interesting NPCs he has seen in his long gaming career.
Draining the ale in his hand, Sauter staggered up the stairs, looking like he was going to sleep again.
Xiao Yue watched Sauter's departure, he didn't try to dig more information from Sauter's mouth, this Sauter's AI is very high, rather than wasting his mind in vain, it is better to leave a good impression on him like this.
What's more, in the few words of dialogue with him, Xiao Yue felt that he had almost touched the pulse of the game.
Walking out of the door of the bar, the sky was already completely dark, the narrow streets were illuminated by the dim magic street lamps, reflecting the dark shadows of the buildings, and the distant Wangsha Mountain showed a huge silhouette in the night, where Xiao Yue was about to conquer.
Xiao Yue summoned thunder and lightning and walked towards the uncertain future.
