286.Ding~ Prestige Guided Quest Triggered! A message from the Monster Thief Pangolin
The defeat of the Gnoll vanguard attacking the Crimson Keep, coupled with the fact that the Gnoll camp was stolen by Murphy and others, basically announced that the Gnoll plague in Translancia had entered "garbage time".
But the little players who played last night didn't forget the advice of their own NPCs, last night it was really an emergency and there was no time to search for corpses, and there must be a lot of good things waiting for them to go back and pick up such a large area of Kenpot's camp, so after dawn, the little players divided into two groups.
There is a team to continue to chase down the scattered gnolls and try to advance this hunting plot quickly, and the scattered players without a team are organized by the three mud truck brothers to go to the Under Armour Hills to recover the income left by the players.
It is said that this mud truck brother because of his age, experience, so that he is quite prestigious among the old players, before the fight in the blood vulture corridor was responsible for the collection of materials all the way to the final distribution, and now the second team is also led by the mud truck to recycle the equipment, it is obvious that everyone is very convinced of this "old-timer".
Of course, the mud truck was not allowed, and set rules for everyone in the world channel.
All the items found are to be handed in, and after being brought back to the Crimson Keep, everyone will hold a private auction in the camp to distribute them uniformly, and if anyone is found stealing, they will be collectively condemned.
However, this is unlikely to happen.
On the one hand, now the player is like this, looking down and not looking up, and it really can't be worth doing this for a few pieces of ordinary equipment that don't stand out.
On the other hand, because the "interface" used by the players is an arithmetic orb that can be connected in parallel, the mud cart as a temporary node uses this thing to count the loot recovery.
It's unlikely that you'll give dishonest guys a chance to take advantage of the loophole.
However, there was still a long way to go from the Crimson Keep to the Under Armour Hills, and it was certainly unrealistic to ride a horse, so after the scattered players and executive players regrouped, the eldest lady Fiemis opened a portal for them to send them back to the place where they fought last night.
Seeing these little players who were eager to search for corpses leave in high spirits, the eldest lady couldn't understand their excitement and "fearlessness".
She complained to Lady Adele beside her:
"It's the first time I've seen someone be so elated when using the Astral Teleportation, don't they know that this spell has a chance to get them lost in the Astral Plane?
That's not right!
Didn't a hapless guy use Trace's return scroll to get swept into the astral plane last night? Aren't they afraid of a repeat of the tragedy? ”
"Because the probability is very low, Miss, only 1%."
Lady Adele looked down at the casualties of the Blood Vulture Clan in the past few days, and she replied without raising her head:
"And you seem to have forgotten that death is only an experience for them, and Lord Murphy has commented that the greatest advantage of his warriors is that they can treat precious lives as a consumable, and the dangers of astral teleportation in this case are nothing compared to its convenience.
They may even regard that accident as a kind of 'unique luck' that we cannot comprehend, which is really an enviable talent. ”
"Well, that's right."
The eldest lady nodded somewhat approvingly and said:
"If I could be resurrected once in three days, like them, I guess I'd take the initiative to try things I wouldn't have risked doing before.
No wonder Tracy told me the other day about the proposal to build semi-permanent portals in several areas of Transnesia, and I thought it was a whim from drinking too much.
Now it seems that these portals are probably for Murphy's warriors. ”
"It's the warrior of Transnesia, Miss."
Mrs. Adele closed the notebook, and she brushed her long hair and corrected:
"It's our warriors, and they're willing to serve us, as long as we can afford to pay them. I've found out now that they're very, really useful in a lot of situations.
Maybe you should give it a try, too.
I mean, forming a small group with you at the core, you may not quite understand, but you have a very good reputation among some of them.
I've heard Murphy-sama call those people 'Lolicon', well, I don't know what that means, but I don't think it's a good word. ”
"Hmph, Murphy wilts and wilts sometimes."
Femis waved the Staff of Nightscream, she was visibly moved, but before she could make up her mind, and after a few seconds she said:
"I'll need to find some psionic users, well, since Murphy has been emphasizing that Transencia will be a racially equal region in the future, then I should probably recruit some warriors who aren't part of the Vulture Clan to fill my little organization.
Adele, can you tell me what they like?
That is, the remuneration, what kind of remuneration do they like? ”
"Well, that's a long story."
Sister E sighed, recalling her relationship with the players in the past, and whispered to her little friend the dwarf:
"They've got a lot of hobbies, they like everything, and I've even seen guys find things at camp that other people don't want to be treasured.
But in general, they like things that have power, fun, or character, and I've seen them rejoice when Master Murphy gives them the most common vampire hunter uniforms, and it just so happens that your wardrobe has lots and lots of all styles of clothing from all over the continent.
So I suggest you start with that.
By the way, don't you still have a few floating magic carpets from the Songhai Empire?
This thing, based on my current superficial knowledge of them, is enough to hire one of them to complete a task chain of at least 15 rings for you.
Given your personality and your unskilled dealings, I suggest you start with Miss Lumina, who is really a very knowledgeable and humble lady of the other world.
And I guess she and her team will love the gift from you. ”
"Well, the team is full of brave women, and I'm very impressed with them."
The eldest lady nodded very seriously and said:
"There's a short vampire among them, the one shorter than me. I think I might be able to see her as my first warrior. ”
"Well, Miss Reed's is already Master Murphy's reserve warrior, and the girl who is really not outstanding in height but is very courageous is especially valued by Master Murphy, in addition, Miss Lumina is already Lady Trissy's reserve warrior, and Pomegranate is Maxim's first warrior."
Adele explains:
"Beautiful and brave things are always the first to be found, but there are two ladies in that group who have not yet found a place to live, and although the lady of her stature and lewdness has become a believer in Avalon, that doesn't stop you from choosing her and another knowledgeable lady orchid as warriors.
Best of all, they seem to be master tailors and travelers from other worlds, and they must have a lot in common with you. ”
"Is that lady with such outrageous stature that even Lady Triss secretly admires?"
The eldest lady nodded thoughtfully, she looked down at her scale, which was not outstanding but not an honor student, and said a little unwillingly:
"Well, I'd better think about it again."
While the eldest lady and her friends were discussing how to "bewitch" the little player, the mud truck brother had returned to the place where he fought last night with the attitude of revisiting the old place with the "battlefield cleaning team".
The huge gnolla camp was empty in the sun, and there was still burning smoke everywhere, and the filthy psionic energy left over from last night's astral tear had left much life in this place.
Even the scattered gnolls wandered around the camp in a daze, searching for something available, and when they saw the portal open again and the little players rushed out, these frightened creatures screamed and ran away.
In their limited and ignorant understanding, the army assembled by King Kenpot was almost invincible, and nothing could resist an army of gnolls of that size, but such a powerful legion was defeated by vampires and their blood servants, which meant that vampires were far more powerful than their gnolls.
In this case, to take the initiative to provoke vampires is to find guilt for yourself.
Jackals think, too.
Although most of their brains are not able to support their complex mental activities, overall, the battlefield clean-up operation went very smoothly from the start.
"Brothers, the periphery has been burned down, and there is basically nothing left, so start looting from the tent in the inner ring!"
The mud cart found a box and stood on it, waving the psionic pocket in his hand and shouting:
"The first priority is, of course, the available equipment and weapons, these things can directly enhance our individual strength and can be used to exchange prestige in the camp, the second priority is things that look strange, and more item identification may trigger strange follow-up missions, who gets this.
The lowest priority is gold and silver!
These things have to be exchanged for Transian coins in the city administration before they can be used by us, and no one will exchange them for you personally, so don't try to hide them.
We don't really need to play games to get mixed up with that downfall.
Except for these three things, nothing else needs to be touched, and then special NPCs will be sent to collect low-value items.
Each person was assigned four psionic packs to turn in after the event, and the capacity was limited, so don't pack too many strange things. ”
"Okay!"
All the players responded in unison, especially the new players who entered the game, and they were ready to do a big job to express their little red hand essence.
But in fact, most people's luck is not good enough to be described as "red", Ou Huang and Fei Chiefs are a minority, and most of them are ordinary luck guys.
But who's to admit that they're unlucky?
"Get to work!"
At the command of the mud truck brother, the little players screamed and crossed the layer of astral shadows that had dissipated a lot, and there were despair tokens that would jump out but would be killed by the little players immediately.
They're long past the stage where they're afraid of these strange things.
But while the beginning went well, strange things soon followed.
Especially after the mud truck and the two old guys also joined the looting operation with psionic bags while talking and laughing, the expressions of the three of them immediately became suspicious.
Because there were a lot of messy footprints left by the gnolls walking on the camp, and many of the tents were pulled out of shape, some broken armor was thrown on the ground, and there were gnoll corpses piled up and set on fire.
"Not good! This place has been 'patronized' too! ”
Seeing that the situation was not good, he exclaimed:
"It must have been after we left last night, and some of the bold gnolls crossed the astral shadows and looted this place,!
The place we worked so hard to fight was picked up by someone else?
How unreasonable! ”
"No, there's something else."
The more stable forkliftman crouched down and pulled out a broken bag from the gnoll tent that had been knocked down next to him, and there were more than a dozen rough gnoll hand axes stacked inside, as well as a few blood-stained armor, but the strangest thing was that there were more than a dozen pieces of gold with a golden luster thrown in the bag.
This is obviously collected by someone and then left here before leaving, and it seems to be reserved for these players who came to loot.
However, new players haven't experienced similar large-scale looting since entering the game, and they won't feel that something is wrong.
After all, there are still valuable things to be found in some tents, but veteran players have realized the strangeness of the situation.
"Brother, this is not quite right!"
The Grey Beater dragged another broken box and kicked it open at the foot of the mud truck, revealing several bone staffs and the Gnoll Mystic's blood-stained robes.
He said to the three elder brothers:
"Someone obviously left it here to deal with us! The real big head must have been taken away by those guys! Someone robbed us of our hunt, and there is really a way to die!
Don't let me know who did it. ”
The other three brothers were silent.
They saw more of the discarded gold in the ash beater's chest, indicating that the ones who took the harvest didn't value the most valuable money.
Just when the four of them got together to analyze, Xiao Zhou, a traveling scholar who had also participated in the Battle of the Blood Vulture Corridor, sneakily walked over.
Without saying a word, he slipped a note into the mud truck.
The latter opened it and looked at it, and saw that it was a beast skin, with some local characters written crookedly on it, and the information according to the translation of the Arithmetic Orb was:
"The situation is very chaotic at night, we have no choice but to take your harvest first, but this is to help you save it for the time being from being snatched by other gnolls clans, remember to come to the smuggler's woodland to find me when it is safe."
In the name of Master Murphy and the Crimson Keep, I will give you your share back. -—— pangolins. ”
"Ding"
A light vibrating sound announces the start of the hidden mission.
The Mudcarts glanced down and saw that they had triggered the reputation guide quest "Message from the Strange Thieves", which instructed them to go to the Smuggler's Woods after the end of the Plague of the Gnolls to get their fair pay.
This task cannot be shared.
But anyone who comes into contact with this hide can trigger it.
"! That bastard gnoll still owes us a mission that hasn't been settled, and here comes another one. ”
Xiao Zhou, a traveling scholar who picked up this animal skin in the tent in front of him, scolded:
"It also said it had a coyote mount for us, and I suspect the dog was promising a blank check that the next time I see it, I'll have to screw its head off.
Brother Mudhead, what now? ”
"What else can I do? It's all out of the mission.,I can only wait for the plot to go to the smuggler's woodland after the plot.,Alas,I've fought in that place before.,I didn't expect to go back.。 ”
The mud truck trio doesn't matter, middle-aged people have experienced strong winds and waves and see this very openly.
He waved his hand and returned the animal skin to the traveling scholar Xiao Zhou, and said to him:
"You ask everyone to take all the tasks, and then loot and loot, take everything that can be taken away, and when this gnoll plague is over, we will take you to collect debts!
I guess this is a guide quest for the 'Bloodclaw Clan' prestige, after all, it is the first local force supported by the player, which is a bit special and understandable.
Forgive that gnoll man for not daring to hack our things, otherwise he will blow up his brains! ”
