Chapter Twenty-Nine: Tricks
One thing Christine is right: whether it's an opportunity or a trap, you have to face it to know it.
Early the next morning, Liu Sen, Christine and others came to the Blood Fountain with a group of adventurers.
The Blood Fountain is actually a blood-colored lake. Some say that it was contaminated by the Abyss Demon King Manolos with his own evil blood, while others say that it was once a battlefield where the entire lake was filled with blood.
Either way, this place is now under the control of Aldred, the Demon Lord of the Abyss, who has built a huge castle here and has a small demon army at his disposal.
Aldred's individual strength is not stronger than Isado, and the strength of the Broken Blade team is enough to deal with easily, and on this basis, at most ten to fifteen helpers can solve all problems.
It's not that Shen Yi can't find more people, but the more people there are, the more benefits they share, and the less they get.
Therefore, everyone unanimously concluded that as long as there were more than 20 people coming, there must be ghosts in the matter.
In order to ensure a thorough and foolproof operation, Liu Sen used the honor of the faction to recruit twenty elven hunters, who were the best scouts and could control owls to patrol a large area within a radius of several kilometers.
It can be said that everyone except Christine has maintained absolute caution when it comes to dealing with the Broken Blades.
In addition to a large number of scout owls, the Anti-Broken Blade Alliance also analyzed various possible situations and prepared a corresponding plan. For example, what should you do when there is an unexpected ambush, for example, when the war is not in your favor, how can you escape safely and preserve your strength, and how to be careful not to step into the trap of the opponent when chasing and killing.
It was originally Shen Yi's patent to make different plans according to the different changes that may occur, and this kind of laborious work requires a lot of effort, but now it has appeared in the Anti-Broken Blade Alliance.
Therefore, taking the enemy as a teacher is not the patent of the protagonist, and those who can survive in the world of the bloody city may not have other skills, which sums up experience and learns from others' strengths, and usually has some skills.
Of course, how much you can learn, whether you live and apply it, or copy it as it is, it depends on each person's talent.
The Anti-Broken Blade Alliance was also exhausted when formulating the plan, and almost all aspects were taken into account, I believe that as long as Shen Yi appears, then no matter what he does, he will not be able to escape everyone's grasp.
But here's the problem!
They took into account almost all the problems that might occur after Shen Yi's arrival, and the only thing they didn't take into account was ...... What if Shen Yi didn't come?
―――――――――――
When he woke up, Shen Yi sneezed.
When he opened his eyes, he saw that Gentle was holding a feather and plucking his nostrils.
Shen Yi hugged her and pressed her on the bed, squeaking her armpits: "Why did you come back so early?"
In the past two days, I have been working hard for the legacy of the Dark Ranger, and I haven't been back to camp for two days.
Gentle giggled and replied, "The second ring mission is a bit troublesome...... I can only come back and ask for help...... Okay, don't make a fuss, itchy!"
"Is there anything else you can't solve?" Shen Yi asked when he stopped.
"At least Aunt Ben won't be able to solve your heart. Gently puffed up and replied.
"It shouldn't be. Shen Yi frowned.
When everyone assigned the tasks at the beginning, they were all arranged according to each person's ability, although the inheritance task of the Dark Ranger was not simple, but with his gentle ability, he would not lag behind King Kong.
He thought for a moment and asked, "Did you make some of the moths happen again?"
Gentle and smiling: "It's nothing, I just think that although our goal is to obtain inheritance, it would be a good thing to really complete the diplomat task together." Shen Yi's eyes bulged.
The mission of a diplomat and the mission of a legacy are two different things in nature. The former asks to pull the opponent into their own camp, while the latter asks for the target's ability inheritance.
For Shen Yi and the others, getting the diplomat mission was just an excuse to get close to the goal, and they didn't intend to complete it from the beginning.
I didn't expect Gentleness to come to the real thing, and while learning the inheritance, I also wanted to pull the Dark Ranger into the orc camp.
But honestly, it's unlikely.
Each faction actually has its own neutral heroes with strong tendencies.
For example, leaning towards the orc camp are the animal tamer Lexa and the panda. Both of these guys had fought alongside one of the current four bosses, Shadowhunter Rock Khan, in the Battle of Dorot.
As for the dark ranger Sylvanas, she has no friendship with the orc camp at all, and this woman, who was an elf in her previous life, still hates the barbarism and violence of orcs in essence, and it can be said that she doesn't even have much affection.
The reason why there is a diplomatic mission about her is not to pull this woman into the orc camp, but to keep her neutral.
A diplomat's job is not necessarily to pull everyone to his side, and if someone who might have become an enemy can remain neutral in the face of diplomatic efforts, that is a success in itself.
What is really possible to win her over is actually the undead camp, after all, she is now part of the undead, but her hatred for Arces has made her out of the undead camp.
But now the undead camp is not Arceth in charge, so the current death knight Tavius still hopes to pull Sylvanas back to his side, but his mission was sent out, and Lao Meng and others took it, but they didn't take any action.
So for Gentleness, this has become an opportunity - originally she was responsible for making trouble, but now that there is no target for making trouble, the chances of winning over are relatively increased.
However, the task given to Gentle by Sylvanas became so difficult that she was unable to complete the task as planned for a while.
Fortunately, because Shen Yi borrowed the strength of everyone, he completed his task ahead of schedule, so Wen Rou came back to ask for help.
Of course, this is also the decision she made knowing that Shen Yi had free time, otherwise it would be impossible to increase the difficulty without authorization.
"Officially pull Sylvanas into our camp...... Interesting. Shen Yi smiled.
According to the information given by the city, it was unlikely that Sylvanas would have joined any faction other than the undead, and the best diplomat mission was to keep her neutral.
But Shen Yi knows that since most of the plot characters created in the city have complete IQ and personality, some situations outside the information are also possible.
When this kind of situation arises, it is necessary for the space manager to intervene to adjust, as long as there is no conflict with the main task, then it is acceptable.
This type of quest manager is often referred to as an ad-hoc quest, which is a temporary assignment that was originally unplanned, but was changed due to the adventurer's behavior.
Of course, in the eyes of adventurers, they are collectively referred to as hidden missions.
What Gentle is doing now is obviously the trigger of a temporary mission, once the mission is successful, the strength of the orc camp will inevitably increase a lot, and even the enemies killed by the Dark Ranger and her men will also have a part of the contribution counted on Gentleness's head.
"What task?" asked Shen Yi.
"Kill Arceth. ”
Shen Yi immediately froze, and then saw that Gentleness couldn't stop laughing loudly, and immediately understood, and pounced on her and pressed her down: "You dare to trick me?"
Gentle has laughed loudly: "Okay, okay, I admit my mistake! But the mission is correct, it is really to kill Arceth, but it is not only a Silvanas faction conversion mission, but also a legacy mission! Silvanas said that as long as she can kill Arceth, she can meet any of my requirements!"
"So this is no longer the second ring mission, but the final mission?"
"That's right!" said with a gentle smile: "What's the matter, I didn't just skip the third ring mission, I even skipped all the subsequent tasks and went directly to the final stage." Isn't it time to admire me?"
"I really admire, especially since you didn't add any work to us. ”
Shen Yi originally wanted to kill Arces, but the purpose was to pay the Dragon's Tooth Team and the Wild Bull Team.
Killing the Demon God was supposed to be a super quest, and in addition to the rewards obtained for killing the target, there were also quest rewards. However, in this mission world, there is no mission related to killing the Lich King Arceus, which makes the attack plan on the Frozen Throne more or less regrettable.
Now Gentle has linked this mission to Sylvanas, so that this battle, which was originally fought for others, suddenly benefits the Broken Blades themselves.
If Arceth had been more generous when he died and dropped a few more pieces of equipment, then the Broken Blades team would have been able to get one, and things would have been even more perfect...... Thinking of this, Shen Yi also felt that he was a little too greedy.
"In that case, shouldn't we be prepared?" asked Gentle.
"Yes, let's go, let's go buy some treasure for ourselves, it's time to use this. Shen Yi shook the black bone in his hand, this thing was the eight-fold certificate given to him by the old orc.
The arrow tower on the outpost side has been completed under the overnight supervision of the fat man, and the corresponding 800 camp honors have also been assigned to Shen Yi's account, plus the rewards in the endless killing mission, Shen Yi's honor value at this time has once again exceeded 1,000.
But this time, instead of recruiting soldiers, he was going to buy some treasures.
One of these treasures is a must-have, and that is a curse-free potion.
"A great lie is a lie that tells the truth. It allows us to get what we want, and at the same time it can lead the opponent to another path. By the old orc's side, Shen Yi shook the magic immunity potion in his hand and smiled.
Magic Immunity Potion: Resists skill attacks after use, lasting for 15 seconds. To purchase this item, you need to consume 40 Honor points, and you cannot take it out of the quest world.
The magic immunity potion is the magic immunity potion, since the magic is exempt, it can naturally lift the curse, so how can there be any magic immunity potion to solve the curse?
―――――――――――――
The Land of the Fountain of Blood.
It was already noon, and the people of the Anti-Broken Blade Alliance still hadn't seen any adventurers belonging to the Eastern District coming.
Someone was already waiting impatiently, and one of the hired adventurers shouted angrily, "What the hell is going on? Didn't you say that you were going to ambush the East Side here? Why haven't the East Side people shown up yet?"
"It's like, what's going on? Wasted half a day. ”
"Liu Sen, you have to give us an explanation!"
A group of adventurers shouted.
Blood wolf Liu Sen's face turned pale: "It seems that we have been tricked, Shen Yi will not come at all!"
Christine's face was also full of anger: "This is all a good thing that you Pandora did!"
Chen Tao immediately said: "Christine, it's not fair for you to say that. Pandora only told us what she had gotten, how to analyze it, how to act, or whether it was our own decision, and there was no need to put the blame on others. ”
"But her news is fake!" Christine roared.
"Analyzing information is also not the job of an intelligence officer. Cliff, who also belongs to the Dane family next to him, surprisingly did not stand on Christine's side: "And the news itself is not necessarily false, but the person who put the news is fake." But now is not the time to hold accountable, but what next?"
"What else can I do? Of course, go back and do what we have to do. Do you still want to rush into the orc camp and do that guy?" replied Liu Sen angrily.
"What about them......" Chen Tao glanced at the adventurers in the Southern Region who did not belong to the Anti-Broken Blade Alliance in the distance.
These guys were hired to come here, but now they have nothing to gain, and no one will be willing to go back like this.
Liu Sen had a headache: "Then what do you say?"
Christine replied: "Since you have already come, you can't just go for nothing, I think you can simply kill the Abyss Demon King." ”
There is such a large group of people in the southern area, and it is indeed not suitable to run empty like this. Killing the Abyss Demon King is not only an explanation for himself, but also for those adventurers who invited to help, so when he heard Christine say this, everyone supported him.
Only Xie Rongjun snorted coldly and left directly, he didn't plan to participate in the next action at all.
"Lao Xie!" Liu Sen chased after him from behind: "What's wrong with you?"
"Nothing, I just don't want to join in the fun. ”
Liu Sen frowned: "Why bother, I know that there are more people on this trip, and I won't get much benefit, but there is no need to give up like this......"
"Not for profit. Xie Rongjun had already interrupted him: "I said Lao Liu, don't you think it's strange about this?"
"What?"
"A guy like Shen Yi who has a purpose in doing everything, do you think he will be interested in playing with us?"
Liu Sen was stunned, Xie Rongjun had already said: "This is not right! Yesterday he went to challenge Isado, he was injured and left, and when he left, he deliberately provoked us, and then at night Pandora came to tell us that he was going to kill the Abyss Demon King the next day. So we had the time and place of the ambush, we had the target to be wounded, and we were enraged, and it all came at the right time...... Haven't you noticed? All he did was to lure us here! He didn't just do so much to trick us, there was a conspiracy in it!"
"But what kind of conspiracy is it?"
"I don't know!" Xie Rongjun replied loudly, "But I know that we have fallen into his trap, and since we came here, we have fallen into his trap." The problem is that I can't see what his trap is this time!"
Liu Sen gasped: "Then what should we do now?"
"Don't ask me, I don't know. If you don't know where the trap is, there are some things you can do or don't do. In that case, let's just don't think about anything and do what I want, it's just that I'm not interested. ”
As he spoke, Xie Rongjun turned his head and left.
Liu Sen looked at Xie Rongjun's back in a daze, until someone else's voice came from behind: "Hey, Boss Liu, what did you say?"
Liu Sen gritted his teeth, stomped his feet and said, "Let's go, let's go kill the Abyss Demon King!"
As Xie Rongjun said, since you don't know what the trap is, there are some things that you can do or not do, and you may fall into the trap. In that case, don't think about anything at all.
