On October 30, 1111 AD, the first late autumn rain in Transnesia arrived as scheduled, and after a night of rain, the temperature dropped significantly the next day, and Professor Malcolm came to work with an extra trench coat.

Its style is a classic men's long trench coat that has never appeared in this world, not to mention, the otherworldly style clothes made by the apprentices of the Water Lady make the already elegant professor have a little more charm unique to old men, so that a group of young girls in the administration office always glance at it from time to time.

"Winter is coming."

The professor, who was the first lieutenant of the consul, was not in the mood to pay attention to his masculinity at this time.

He stood by the window of his office, looking at the third residential building in the city, which was in full swing, and his heart was somewhat worried.

"At this rate, it should be possible for the people to move into new houses before the first snow falls, but I don't know if the 'underfloor heating' system designed by His Excellency Grey Man will work.

Fortunately, the activity of the Batasin Chamber of Commerce has made it enough to have enough food, and the catch from the Frozen Bay area has been sent to the underground cellars of the Crimson Keep, so it is time for the collectors to collect some fruits and vegetables that can be stored as soon as possible. ”

The professor turned around and wrote down his thoughts in his administrative codex, and there were many other livelihood issues that worried him.

For example, the imminent recruitment of displaced people throughout Translancia could easily lead to a terrible disaster if they were not properly resettled before the cold winter arrived.

Fortunately, the wise Professor Chen had already provided him with a simple construction plan of the centralized shacks with "earth dragons", which were built in a short enough time to be planned in a hurry, but it is estimated that several more large concentration camps will be planned for the displaced people to live in.

In addition, there are the Blood Servant captives who are about to be sent back to Transnesia, and although the plan for the placement of these guys has been decided, how to guide them to reintegrate into the new order of Lord Murphy is also a matter of concern.

"Bang, bang"

A knock on the door interrupted Professor Malcolm's thoughts.

He looked up to see his secretary, his wife, and his former student Funa walking into the office with a few letters.

When they were alone, Mrs. Funa did not hesitate to show her love for her husband, and she kissed the professor on the cheek, and put some letters into his hand, saying:

"It's a reply from your students and friends, relayed through the Courier channel of the Capetian family, but I reckon you're probably going to be disappointed.

They didn't seem interested in Ling's invitation. ”

"Isn't that expected?"

The professor sighed, opened the envelope, and said:

"They are different from Miriam, they already have their own life and career plans, and if it weren't for the changes in their lives, it is estimated that no one would be willing to give up their good life elsewhere to come to the isolated land of Transnesia.

Speaking of which, Funa, are you still planning to move to Batasinu with your children? Why don't I ask the lord to send you and the children back to Port Chardo first?" ”

"Hmph"

At the mention of this question, Ms. Funa suddenly snorted, and she crossed her waist and scolded her husband:

"Can I still walk now? You've found so many 'students' for me to teach them, what should I do with the kids in the executive class now that I'm gone?

You just keep being bad-hearted!

However, it is true that the two children cannot stay in Transnesia, they need to be educated, and they will have to be sent back to the port of Chardo at the beginning of next spring to be cared for by our friends. ”

"It's spring next year. Yes, they must be sent away before the Plague arrives. ”

The professor was filled with guilt for his wife when he thought of the impending danger of the black plague, and he shook Ms. Funa's hand and whispered:

"It's all my fault that I have to stay here, and I want to involve you in this whirlpool."

"No apologies, my Malcolm."

Lady Funa, however, was very open-minded, and she smiled and reached out to help the professor straighten her gray hair, and she whispered:

"I know you've always blamed yourself for your life in war, and it's been a long time since I've seen you so vibrant.

Apparently you have found some kind of faith in the destined land of Transencia, and I was your student, and I know that you have a great pursuit.

What's more, even from a realistic point of view, what kind of treatment can you get elsewhere if you leave here?

Miriam's little girl can see the bright future, how can I turn a deaf ear.

Do a good job, my husband, we are all from a civilian background, maybe we can really get a lifetime of blessings for our children. ”

"It's good that you understand me."

The professor laughed, grabbed his wife's waist, which was not as slender as when she was younger, and the two kissed lightly in the office, but the next second the door was pushed open, and Miriam stood in the door with a pile of papers, a little helpless for a while.

"Well, I'll come back later, Professor! I'm sorry! ”

The Scarlet Archon screamed, closed the door and ran out, but soon she reminded her outside the door:

"Well, Lady Funa, you'd better hurry up and change into a formal attire, your ordination ceremony will be held this afternoon, your lord has decided to give you the title of 'Executive Knight', and Professor Malcolm will also be officially rewarded with the title of 'Administrative Baron', and your fief will be arranged in the Under Armour Hills.

Of course, if you are not satisfied with that fiefdom, we can talk about this matter, and the county of Sico can also do it.

Your Excellency has commanded that you are free to choose your own fiefdom. ”

The panicked cry made the old man and wife look at each other, and immediately laughed, and Professor Malcolm shook his head to let go of his blushing wife, and he whispered:

"Our lord is really perceptive, and he always knows when to give a carrot to make us work harder.

Look, you were talking about the blessings of the descendants, and in the blink of an eye, we had a hereditary fief. ”

"It's a good choice."

Ms. Funa patted her cheek to calm herself, and she thought for it:

"Why don't you put it next to Batasin? It has a strong business atmosphere and will definitely become the commercial hub of Translancia in the future. ”

"Mmmm, it's up to you, it's up to you whether I'm involved or not, Knight Funa."

Professor Malcolm made a simple courtesy, only to be glared at by his wife, who turned to leave, but when she opened the door, she turned back with a charming smile, and whispered:

"How does it feel to have a knight's wife? His Excellency Baron Malcolm. ”

The professor's expression suddenly turned painful.

Looking at his wife's smile, he knows that he can't run away from his public food tonight, alas, being promoted to an official and getting rich or something, it doesn't seem to be all a good thing!

——

【Bang】

As white smoke poured out of the miniature steam grate exhaust pipe at the rear end of the shotgun, the projectile with passive energy accelerated to several times the speed of sound flew out, and at a distance of three hundred meters, it accurately opened the back of the head of a gnoll hunter, whose body smashed to the ground, causing the coyote under its crotch and the bloodthirsty hyenas next to it to run away in panic.

"Cool!"

Brother Qu, the electronic succubus, showed a cold hunter's smile with satisfaction, patted the precision engineering shotgun in his hand that he had purchased from the little earl of Sharon with a lot of money, and liked it in his heart.

As a forest ranger and a secondary gunslinger, he has put all his skills to use in this hunting method, and now that he has the right weapon in his hand, he can finally show his destructive power to the fullest.

Brother Qu took out a round bullet from the ammunition pouch on his belt and stuffed it into the chamber of the gun.

This sniper shotgun is good at anything, the range, accuracy, and especially the destructive power are far beyond the ordinary soldier musket, and it can even easily beat the elite into residual blood at a distance of 100 meters.

The only thing that is this one-shot mode is a bit of a hit, but considering that this thing is powered by a steam oven, it's understandable that the firing speed is slower.

He didn't continue to mess around with Brother Woo Meow today, mainly because Brother Woo Meow didn't go online today to discuss something with the happy bar who came from afar, so everyone in the "Big Bird Turn" group got the opportunity to move freely.

Xiao Shou and the other three went with the Yansang brush book that had just joined the gang to make equipment, but Brother Qu did not participate in it.

His personality belongs to the kind of person who is more casual, even if he plays games, his thirst for good equipment is not particularly high, he enjoys the fun of playing, if it is not for a group of good friends, maybe Brother Qu is more suitable for "lone wolf play".

He set himself a goal.

Intending to brush up on the reputation of the Adventurer's Guild after the Gnoll hunt is over, he has privately studied the reputation system, and once he has reached reverence, he can ask Natalie or Old Eugene for tips on taming his own "safari companions".

Brother Qu has always wanted a fierce and dexterous falcon, or a horned eagle that can help in fights, as his companion, not only to scout but also to make himself less lonely when he is alone.

Alas, this man who often washes his feet is also a restless young man who is sensitive and longs for her to be soothed.

"Aim."

He held his shotgun to his chest at the sniper spot he had chosen, looked into the distance through the slender scope mounted on the barrel, and then locked onto a gnolloll brute who was sneakily fleeing into the distance.

The number of these guys has plummeted in recent times, especially after the Great Warlord Kempot Biternal was killed, and the gnolls of Translancia seem to have disappeared overnight.

But that's fine, doesn't this mean that this big operation, which has been going on for almost 30 days, is coming to an end?

To be honest, it's not fun to always stare at the jackals to kill, and you always have to try more ways to play the game.

Thinking so, Brother Qu pulled the trigger.

"Bang"

The low sound brought a faint vibration, and the brains of the gnoll brute in the distance exploded in Qu Ge's scope, like the explosion of a scarlet flower, filled with a bleak beauty that death should have.

But the next second.

【Ding! The number of gnolls in Transnesia has been reduced below the safe threshold, and the 'Plague of the Gnolls' mission is officially over! Settlement is now underway, and the points pool is sealed!

Settlement will be completed after four hours.

Congratulations to the tester for completing the final kill, gaining +50 points for individuals and 50 points for teams! 】

"Holy! Awesome! ”

Brother Qu grinned suddenly, feeling that his bad luck had finally improved, he got up, put his beloved shotgun behind his back, and opened the character interface to take a closer look at the personal standings that had been "sealed".

Except for the top two "perverted murderers" Brother Cat and Sister Pomegranate, who have already touched the edge of 10,000 points, the other top players do not have a big score gap between each other.

The four macho men of Brother Cat's team are all on the list, and the happy bar also occupies a seat, as well as the name of Xiao Wei of the girl group, and the rest are all occupied by the student party.

Brother Woo Meow, they didn't catch up with the start of the event because they died once before, and Brother Qu, who had the best results, was only ranked thirteenth, but this time he accidentally added 50 points and actually made him into the top ten.

There is a difference of 3 points with the invincible Tyrannosaurus in 11th place.

That's embarrassing.

"Holy! You're cheating! How can this still be the case? Cheche is not satisfied, Cheche has to complain! ”

The mentality of the invincible tyrannosaurus car immediately exploded.

He complained to Brother Qu, so that Lao Qu couldn't answer this, who knows that the last kill of this point event actually has an extra score reward?

In desperation, he could only appease and promise to give one of the seven 'hunter keys' that he could get with his current score to Cheche, which made the latter quiet.

Brother Qu felt ashamed, after all, according to the original ranking, this tenth place should indeed be someone else's car.

But he soon became excited.

The top 10 will award an additional Family Warrior Chest Key, which is one of the few ways to unlock the best gear in the game so far.

He doesn't have the luxury of prescribing anything good, but at least don't make a big loss by getting a meal like last time when he doesn't use it.

After thinking about it, Brother Qu came up with a good idea.

He chatted privately with Che Che:

Electronic Succubus Oldies; [I know you want the family warrior treasure chest key, why don't you open it after I get the key!] 】

Invincible Tyrannosaurus Car: [??? Are you crazy? Just let it go to me? I'm actually just complaining, it's really unnecessary, Brother Qu.

You're also the tenth to snatch by your ability.,It's not really a bug.,I'm just addicted.,There's nothing else to say.,Don't think about it.。 】

Electronic Succubus Old Song: [No, no, I'm serious, you also know that our team is like TM being cursed with dirty things, but any job that requires luck can't have any good results, and I feel like I'm not going to be lucky this time, so I mean, you help me open it.]

If you offer something you can use, you take it and give me some gold to compensate.

If I offer something I can use, I'll give you gold coins to compensate me,

If we can all use it, then]

Invincible Tyrannosaurus Che: [Then it's yours, there's nothing to say, this is your key after all.] Ha, the car will go offline now to take a shower, and then apply incense to make yourself lucky!

I'll give you a good hit tonight! 】

Electronic Succubus Old Song: [Well, then I'll leave it to you, boy, clench your fists .jpg.] 】

At the same time, on the other side, Sister Pomegranate, who was preparing to take Lady Water and Frostfang's Claw and a few other budding newcomers to the Blood Vulture Corridor Reunion, suddenly felt her phone vibrate.

She said AFK to her companion, then took off her helmet and took out her phone to glance at it, and found that it was Brother Meow who opened the phone. After connecting it, Brother Meow over there picked up the wind and washed the dust for Brother Bang, and as a result, he drank until his tongue was big, but he still said his request intermittently, and Sister Pomegranate, who listened, looked confused.

What?

Give me all your keys?

Is this going to rub my luck?

Don't even think about it, you cunning social person, although I don't know why your team seems to be cursed by dirty things, but the lessons are there, although Sister Pomegranate is a materialist with strong roots, but she also thinks that before opening the treasure chest, it is better not to be more involved with the mafia of Brother Woo Meow.

What if I get black?

And she also has her own things to do, how can she have time to help Brother Wu Meow open the treasure chest.

"You go to find the tooth, yes, the claw of the frost tooth, this kid has a lot of luck, and the copy of the end of the rat king, the first time he found a hidden drop.

I've heard that the guy who went with him to fight was also lucky, and it was said that he triggered a hidden quest or something in the dungeon, so you can trouble them.

That's it.,I'm still waiting to play the group book.,Hang up.。 ”
