58. Witch hunters? Why are there witch hunters? This time it's really narrow!

"Mr. Portman, you said three workers who were out logging went missing last night?"

On the fifth day of Cadman City's special event, Miriam got bad news early in the morning.

Holding a cup of odd but refreshing tea, she looked at the captain of the camp guards in front of her, who was in his forties a former police officer in the outer city of Cadman and was now appointed to command a total of 30 camp guards.

The fat man, who was a little balding, was wiping sweat in front of Miriam's eyes.

Although Miriam is old enough to be his daughter, his net worth and life and the new position he finally got are all in the thought of the other party, which is enough to make him full of awe of Miriam.

This emotion was also keenly captured by the redhead.

She didn't hate the feeling of being respected, so she learned the posture of the managers she had seen in her memory, and asked in a slow tone:

"Could it be that there is an error in the record? Many of the guards in the camp are doing this kind of professional thing for the first time, have you been to see it? โ€

"I personally went to see the shack to which the three workers were assigned, and I also asked the people around me, Lord Supervisor."

The fat captain said very seriously:

"It can be confirmed that it is really missing! They didn't go to work today, and the captain of the team that counted labor points hadn't seen the three of them since last night. โ€

"Could it be that you ran away?"

Miriam's assistant, the maid of a clever and wealthy merchant, saw that the supervisor was lost in thought, and could not help asking:

"While most of the people in the camp are in charge, there are some stubborn people who are dissatisfied with the order brought by Master Murphy, and we all know that."

"No, it's not."

Captain Portman explained:

"The three loggers were young men who had been rescued by Master Maxim, and they had worked very hard in the past two days when they had been assigned work, and two of them had families in the camp.

People who knew them said that these three guys were very honest and dutiful, they had no reason and no ability to run away at this time, they didn't even bring food and clothes, how far could they run?

Based on my years of experience in handling cases, my guess may be that he was taken by wild animals while walking around the camp after work, and that wild wolves have been active in the nearby forest since a long time ago. โ€

"I don't think something is right."

Miriam shook her head and said to Mr. Portman:

"You should take someone to look around first, and keep quiet so as not to cause panic, I need to report this to Lord Murphy. Fortunately, the curfew has been in place for two days, otherwise it would not have been so easy to detect. โ€

A few minutes later, Murphy learned about the "missing worker" in the survivors' camp through the link to the orb of the calculation, and he was still preparing for the "Great Burning Plan" to recover the ruins of the city.

He remembered that these seemed to be Niu Niu's two junior brothers?

Two sports students!

Just sent to run an errand.

Murphy rolled his eyes, coughed, and said to the two young players who were in a good mood:

"Come here, my warriors, I have an important task for you."

The two young players glanced at each other, and immediately ran over excitedly, and did a local etiquette to Murphy, which they had learned from the others.

"We are willing to offer your loyalty, Master Murphy."

The two guys showed their loyalty.

But just looking at their appearance, you can know that they must be planning to brush up on a wave of favorability.

Murphy ignored the anxious expressions of the two young players with the steadiness of an NPC, and he said in a low tone:

"Something happened to the survivor camp, and three hardworking and reliable workers under our protection disappeared last night, and while it may be because of wild beasts, we can't take it lightly.

I'd like you two to go and find out and help Miss Miriam out of her troubles. โ€

"Ding"

When the mission is triggered, the two young players immediately look at their player interface:

[Random Event] Trouble at the Camp" has been triggered

Mission Statement: In the midst of a disturbing change in the survivor camp, Lord Murphy has decided to send his most loyal and reliable warriors to eliminate all potential dangers.

Objective: Thoroughly scavenge the area around the camp and look for clues to the missing workers.

Rewards: Unknown, additional rewards will be awarded for eradicating hidden dangers.

Mission Duration: Before dusk today.

Prompt!

Random events differ from quests in that they tend to be time-limited and have random rewards, so please complete the event within the time limit. ใ€‘

"Rush rush! After this wave of tasks is completed, I see that our strong and reliable Lord Murphy's favorability will definitely rise. โ€

The two young players received the task and rushed to the stable at the edge of the defense line without looking back, where there were docile old horses that could be rented to get between the camp and the defense line.

But they had clearly never ridden a horse before, and had to climb on the horse's back with the help of an old rider who had been assigned to take care of the horses, and made their way to the mission at a turtle speed.

Murphy looked at the whole process, especially the bad posture of the two students lying on the horse and still being proud.

He felt that he really needed to train the vehicle skills of the young players, after all, in the current continent full of swords and magic, it was a bit too much for you to make your debut as an adventurer if you couldn't even ride a horse.

But this little thing was quickly forgotten by Murphy, and he soon went back into the depths of the ruins of the outer city to find the astral beasts to eradicate them.

Although it is not possible to complete the strength trial for the time being, and the blood vulture swordsmanship is already at the master level, the tomb sword guard swordsmanship and the shadow elf secret swordsmanship still have to be practiced, and the improvement of these two advanced swordsmanship is not so easy.

Tracey is still training him in the use of various psionic techniques, so that Murphy's life is "very fulfilling".

It's no exaggeration to say that he's a lot busier than the fun-chasing little players.

Twenty minutes later, the two young players, Mud Luda Oil and Khaki Tony, finally arrived at the place where the worker had disappeared, and the two of them jumped off the old horse, tied the vehicle to the tree, picked up their weapons, and began to search aimlessly.

However, as the younger brother of the precipitated Niu Niu, the two sports students did not have the professional search skills to complete this at all, and their first change of career was not even a hunter but a warrior.

Murphy sent them here purely to try their luck, using the player's unafraid nature of exploration to tackle some areas that the natives couldn't penetrate.

The two guys soon met the captain of the camp guard who was fishing in the woods, and after communicating with each other with the help of the Calculation Orb, they were pointed out by the other party in a possible direction, and then explored further beyond the camp along the forest.

"There's no clue to highlight this game."

Carrying a war spear, short but stocky, with distinctly muscular arms and very good at javelins and shot put, "mud gives Luda oil" complained:

"At least give a hunter a skill with similar vision, when will we be able to find someone in this aimless wandering?

In other words, this kind of plot of a worker or farmer being captured, shouldn't it be that he dies at the mouth of a beast in the end, and then triggers a follow-up mission of revenge? โ€

"What? Are you going to go back to camp with the beast's head to receive your reward? โ€

The "Khaki Tony Tai" next to him is a tall and thin person, with a pair of long legs, and at first glance, he looks like a professional track and field player.

He pressed the hilt of the war knife at his waist, and carried a heraldic shield behind him, and while staring left and right with wide eyes, he joked with his good brother in the dormitory:

"Aren't you afraid of meeting tigers?"

"I'm afraid of hair, we are omnipotent sports students, and when I meet a tiger, I will be a sliding shovel!"

The good brother laughed, and he didn't have a sense of crisis at all.

The two of them only got into the game two days ago.

Unlike the previous group of veteran players, the most dangerous thing they have ever faced is a despair token in the city, and they are not very familiar with the mechanics that exist in this game.

The so-called ignorant are fearless, and they are not afraid of heaven and earth, so naturally they did not find that on the branch next to them, there was a witch hunter squatting there condescendingly looking at these two rookies.

The elite scout was also surprised.

They only arrested three camp laborers last night and interrogated them for one night, but they didn't expect to arouse the other party's vigilance this morning, and they also sent people to search.

It stands to reason that the general level of management in a post-disaster camp of this size is not up to this level.

"It seems that the news of the three vampire worshippers is true."

The hidden witch hunter scout thought to himself:

"The leader of the vampires who have gathered survivors in Cadman City is a powerful fellow with a brave warrior under his command and intends to penetrate and reclaim the city.

Is this the soldier he sent, though?

So unprofessional!

But the armor on their bodies was clearly in the style of the Blood Vulture Clan, and they definitely knew something more. โ€

Thinking of this, the scouts imitated the bird's call to send a message in the woods, and the mud below Luda Oil and Khaki Tony Tai were completely unaware of the anomaly, and they still searched forward, only to plunge headlong into the ambush circle of the three elite witch hunters in front of them after a few minutes.

"Bang"

A smoke grenade suddenly fell from a high altitude and smashed under the feet of the two young players, startling them with the smoke that rose up.

After realizing that they had been ambushed, they did not panic, and immediately drew their weapons back-to-back to defend in place.

This all came from the fact that during the two days of fighting in the city, he was accustomed to the teaching and command of Niu Niu and Maxim.

But seeing the three elite witch hunters jumping from the tree surrounding, looking at the strange costumes of these three guys and the various weapons armed to the teeth on their bodies, the two little players realized that they were afraid that they would not be able to escape today.

"I'll block them!"

The khaki brother with the shield and the sword was quite righteous, and he said to the dormitory brother behind him:

"You hurry up and break through, send coordinates on the world channel, shake people to save lives!"

"Oh, then you hold on!"

Mud gave Luda oil knew that this would not be the time for a deep brotherhood.

He screamed with his spear in his hand, and rushed towards the witch hunter behind him in a pig swoop posture, but was lightly dodged by the opponent, and the khaki in front of him was violently beaten by two witch hunter warriors, a man and a woman.

The gap is too big.

The battle ended after five seconds.

The mud that broke through was stabbed in the back and killed on the spot for refusing to cooperate, while Khaki was knocked unconscious by the witch hunters with poison darts and taken away as a captive.

Having already alarmed the people in the camp, the witch hunter team did not hesitate at all, and quickly left here with four captives to return to Morland Village.

They feel like it's all right.

After all, killing the rookie soldiers who broke through on the other side was enough to ensure that the news would not be leaked.

However, in less than 20 seconds, the group of the game forum exploded.

Mud to Luda Oil: [Rely on it! We've encountered ghosts in random events! Why are elite monsters spawned near the novice village? Or brush three at a time!

Lao Tzu resisted bravely and was poked to death in the end, and Khachitoni was too knocked out and captured!

Depend on! What's going on with this game, is there still a captive player function?

What if Khaki is tortured? ใ€‘

Khaki Tony: [Torture a ghost! I was forced offline when I was knocked unconscious, okay? The game helmet told me that my character was in a 'special state' and it would take four hours to wake up and go live.

Fortunately, this is not a game time consumption.

Depend on!

What's this new mechanic? Why didn't you explain it? ใ€‘

Haw Par Cavalry: [This is not good, brother! Since it can be launched, it means that you have triggered a special plot.,Squint and smile.,Maybe it's a special function test of the game.,For example, R18's SM or something.ใ€‚ ใ€‘

Lin Bei Gou: [This game still has such exciting features? Nosebleeds thumb .jpgใ€‘

Lumina Imprint: [Don't worry, this game is still being tested, maybe it's a small functional test, you two talk about those elite monsters first? New types of monsters? ใ€‘

Khaki Tony: [It's a humanoid!] It's fierce! Dressed like the Assasins in Assassin's Creed, they all wore hoods and were loaded with various weapons, and their combat skills were very powerful, and my skillful swordsmanship and 7 stamina were useless in front of others.

I also took a screenshot!

Image .jpgใ€‘

He sent two pictures, which were taken out of time during the fierce battle, the first one was more blurry, but the image of the other party clearly appeared in the second one.

Lumina Imprint: !! Isn't this the Old Cult Witch Hunter? We didn't deal with them a lot in our previous tests, these guys are very powerful, they can't be killed with guns, and I really don't blame you guys.

But how did they end up near Cadman City?

Touched the side of the camp? Is this a new story to unlock? A seamless rhythm with Cadman City's special events? ใ€‘

Mud to Luda: [Sister Lumi explained what was going on in detail, so these guys are enemies of Lord Murphy, right?] Is this a revenge hunt? ใ€‘

Lumina Imprint: [Not necessarily, the witch hunter's backstory isn't fully open yet, and the hell knows what they're up to, but I suspect it has something to do with the Cadman City disaster, and the random quest you two triggered was from Master Murphy?]

Then it's no wonder.

It is only right for the main NPC to release this kind of story quest, perhaps he has already discovered the traces of these witch hunters.

Don't be afraid, your encounter could be a plot killing.

But I'm confused.

This kind of plot kills people theoretically, so why do you play yourself to death? @ๆณฅ็ป™่ทฏ่พพๆฒนใ€‘

Mud to Luda Oil: [... I want to fight bravely to the end, so as not to embarrass us players! In fact, if you think about it carefully, it seems that the witch hunter did shout a few words before poking me to death, maybe to make me surrender?

Depend on!

I knew I wouldn't resist!

But this is more or less a 'work injury', three days of resurrection, it is difficult to die, this is a bit too much to say without compensation. ใ€‘

At this time, Murphy, who was peeping at the screen, was also confused and shocked, he didn't expect that he could get this kind of information by sending a random mission.

Bastard witch hunters actually killed again?

This bullying honest man is over!

Scald!

When my little players grow up, I'm going to kill you all!

The ashes will be lifted for you.

However, those hapless goods captured the captives and went back?

Tsk, they probably don't know what they caught, right? By the way, this is not to give the witch hunters an eye and take the opportunity to reconnoitre, which is simply blind to the "sacrifice" of the little players.

Murphy thoughtfully took over the Khaki Tony Ether's Arithmetic Orb with the Core Orb, and he seemed to have discovered another way for his cute little players to use it.

Thankfully, they're on their own side, tsk, otherwise it would have been unguardable!
