Chapter 10: Night Killing
After saying goodbye to Legolas, he walked over to Borg's corpse with excitement, a green treasure chest glowing with a blur.
"The green one should be more advanced than the white one, what will come out?" Li Oran slowly opened it, and a black long sword appeared in front of him.
【Shadow Sword】
[Category]: Weapons
[Quality]: Green
[Damage]: 35
[Durability]: 200
[Action Skill]:
[Cross Flame] casts a Cross Flame sword aura that deals 150 damage to enemies, has a cooldown of 10 minutes, and consumes 50 mana.
"Haha, yes, that's good! This is decent, it seems that you still have to kill monsters by leapfrogging. Li may be satisfied with the equipment.
At this time, there are only 12 hours left before the time of return, and time is pressing, and Li Oran still has a side quest to complete.
With a few flashes, he returned to Bud's hut and knocked on the wooden door.
"Knock Knock"
"Open the door, Nori, Chili, it's me, Lore."
Nori and the other two dwarves didn't go to Lone Mountain for various reasons, and gathered at Bud's house to treat Chili's injuries.
"Crunch ......"
The door opened, and it was Bard's son, Barn, who had been crying for a long time with two lines of tears on his face.
The room was a mess, littered with broken furniture and overturned tables, and Chili was lying on the bed with a happy face, and the elf Tao Lier was taking good care of him.
Barn cried with his two young sisters:
"Please save my father, he's been locked up by the mayor!"
After the dwarves left, Bard knew that something was wrong and tried to take action to save the situation, but apparently failed.
There are the mayor's eyes everywhere here, and his every move is monitored, and there is no possibility of moving at all, and it is only a matter of time before he is caught.
"Whew......" Li Oran took a deep breath.
"Oh, then, let me do one more good thing at last, pave the way for this heroic whistleblower and retrograde!"
He patted Bath on the shoulder and solemnly promised:
"Your father, leave it to me!"
Bidding farewell to everyone, Li Oran looked back at the hut of the Bard family and continued to embark on his journey.
Changhu Town is not big, and you can see one of the most luxurious three-story western-style buildings in the town from a distance.
That's where the mayor lived.
In front of the gate of the western-style building stood four or five sleepy guards, and the guard's message:
【Soldiers of Long Lake Town】
[Rank]: The first rank
[Grade]: LV4
[Damage]: 70
[Health]: 360
[Defense Value]: 10
"Tsk!"
"These guards are not easy to mess with, you can't get their attention, but you can't get in from the front, where can you get in?"
Li Oran avoided the guards, sneaked around to the back of the house, and found that there was no one to guard here, so he jumped lightly and climbed up to the window on the second floor.
It was easy to enter the house, landing on both feet, "looking like a utility room".
He was surrounded by a mess of shabby clothes, tables and chairs.
Li Oran walked around the second floor and found no trace of the mayor.
Standing on tiptoe, he walked up the stairs to the third floor step by step, his movements slow and light, for fear of alarming the guards outside.
"Huh? How can there be an arch-like depression here? ”
At the corner of the stairs, Li Oran looked left and right at a door-shaped pit, and pushed it with his hand, but there was no response.
"It seems that I am thinking too much, maybe it is just a look."
He thought to himself.
At this moment, Li Oran's feet suddenly slipped, and he fell on the steps with a "plop".
In a hurry, his left hand accidentally broke the railing.
"Oops!"
He chuckled in his heart, held his breath, and stayed where he was, not daring to move.
Fortunately, after a few minutes, he did not hear the soldiers rushing in, nor did he hear any other movement in the house.
Now, I put my mind at ease.
"Whew...... Luckily, the guys were asleep, otherwise this side quest wouldn't have been completed! ”
Turning his gaze to the damaged handrail, Li Oran's eyes lit up.
He suddenly discovers a secret!
The broken handrail turned out to be a mechanism, and as long as you hold it hard, you can turn the moving handrail a few points.
The marks that seem to be broken are actually a cross-section. The handrails in this place have always been able to move freely to open and close, and he didn't break them.
"Squeak"
Li Oran pushed the handrail to the end, and the depression suddenly opened a door.
A golden light spilled through the crack in the door, and he couldn't open his eyes.
"It's ......"
Li Oran's mouth opened wide and he could almost stuff an egg.
Inside the door is a square room nearly 7 meters long and wide, full of gold, jewelry, and curiosities.
He has lived for 18 years, and it is the first time he has experienced such a picture, which is shocking.
It's a pity that even if he clutches those jewels, he doesn't receive the information of the space, and obviously these can't be brought out of the sub-world scene.
"It seems that this is the wealth that the mayor has obtained by exploiting the people!" Li Oran thought secretly.
Most of the people of Long Lake Town are dressed in tatters and live in poverty, and even the descendants of the former kings of Long Lake City, like Bud, have to live on some gray income.
And their mayor actually owned a whole room of treasures.
In this way, he was still not satisfied, and still coveted the wealth in the lonely mountain, and encouraged the people to support Thorin's actions, completely ignoring the consequences.
Gold blinded his eyes and corrupted his conscience!
Li Oran felt his blood rise, he walked out of the gold hiding house and strode towards the bedroom on the third floor.
The bedroom was lavishly furnished, full of precious wooden furniture, with strings of crystals hanging from the roof, and a fat man lying in a deep sleep and snoring in a golden drapery. Message pop-up:
【Mayor of Changhu Town】
[Rank]: 0
[Damage]: 20
[Health]: 80
[Defense Value]: 0
"It's a garbage with no level, and its health is 80, so it's easy to do!"
Roughly opened the curtain, and Li may have stepped on the man's neck.
"Dead fat pig, sleep very soundly!"
The mayor of Changhu Town opened his eyes in a daze, and was startled when he saw Li Oran, and said in horror:
"Who are you? What do you want to do? ”
"Hmph, what do I want to do? Not...... I want to kill you! Li Oran leaned into his ear and replied coldly.
The mayor's eyes widened, and he immediately made a voice like killing a pig:
"Quick! Guards, there are assassins! ”
He broke Li Oran's feet with both hands, and while shouting, he got up and tried to escape, but his bloated body slowed him down.
Li Oran kicked him back on the bed, flipped the Demon Shadow Sword with his right hand, and said coldly:
"Goodbye!"
"Don't! I have money, I can give you lots and lots of money......"
The mayor began to beg for mercy frantically, he did not want to die, he had great wealth and power, and he had not enjoyed enough of this luxurious life.
"Poof!"
Li Oran didn't hesitate at all, and stabbed out with a sword at close range, hitting him in the heart, and the mayor of the town lost his voice after a few flutters, and leaned back.
"Ding"
Battle Tip: You killed the Mayor of Long Lake.
"Strange, why didn't the box burst out"
Li Oran looked at the man at his feet with disgust, and the discomfort of killing was much less.
Unlike the monsters of the half-orcs, killing them didn't have too many waves in his heart.
And now it's a living person who is being killed!
Although he knew that this was a fantasy world in space, Li Oran still felt a churning in his stomach.
"Ding"
"Successful completion of side quest 2 will reward you with 1 skill point."
Hearing the sound of the task being completed, he relaxed.
"Quick, Mayor Mare's in danger, rush forward!"
The guards downstairs had already burst into the house, and the stairs were creaking with their feet.
Li may walk unhurriedly to the bedroom window, at this moment, there is no one downstairs, and the guards all go upstairs.
He immediately jumped out and landed on the balcony on the second floor, then climbed over the fence and returned to the ground with ease.
Listening to the chaotic sound upstairs, he dodged into the jagged residential buildings, and disappeared without a trace when the moon hid in the clouds.
Under the cover of night, no one knew who the mayor's killer was, and the streets began to be chaotic, full of searching soldiers.
The mayor's dog-headed military advisor led the team to search for the murderer in a high-spirited manner, and the sleeping people were awakened and dragged out for questioning over and over again.
Li Oran was hiding in a corner outside the town's prison at this time, patiently waiting for an opportunity.
"Angus, let's go, take everyone with you, the mayor is killed, hurry up and search for the murderer."
"What?"
"You heard it right, hurry up.
After a while, the prison, which had been loosely defended, suddenly opened its doors.
The corners of Li Oran's mouth rose slightly, and he was happy in his heart.
"Looks like it's not a bad idea to complete the side quests first!"
Looking around, there was silence, and he walked unhurriedly into this dilapidated "prison".
If so, it's a prison.
The corridor of the prison was narrow, and Li Oran walked to the deepest part in a few steps, and the sewage flowed sideways along the way, and the stench was stinking.
At this moment, in the cramped cell, Bard was pacing anxiously.
Who would have thought that one day the descendants of Giryan would become prisoners, trapped by a rusty iron door.
"Ding"
"Note: Contractor 0527 has successfully activated the hidden quest - Bard's Trust."
"Bard's Trust: Rescue Bard and gain his trust, and you'll have a special reward."
Li may be stunned for a moment, "There are still hidden tasks in the space?" ”
I was overjoyed that my kindness had been repaid so quickly.
Since it's a hidden mission, the rewards will be many!
Originally, he just didn't want Barn and his sister to worry too much, so he agreed to come and save people, but he didn't expect it......
"This is really unintentional!"
Li may ran straight to the iron gate, and Bud looked up with a puzzled look on his face.
"I remember you, Lore the Skin-Changer."
He struggled to recall Li Oran's name, and then asked:
"Why are you here? Didn't Thorin go to Lonely Mountain? ”
He shook the iron door with both hands, his eyes full of hope.
