"Riptide Riders! It is with great sorrow that I declare to you a tragic event when, just an hour earlier, the 24th Hunter Patrol Squadron, which we had sent out to search for the outcasts, had been attacked by gnolloon bandits on their way back to camp.

A five-man team led by Paladin Julio put up a resolute and heroic resistance to protect the civilians, and finally killed three people and successfully repelled the bandits, although the victory came very hard and full of glory, it was definitely a terrible loss. ”

In a large camp in Sico's territory, the Honorary Knight Tepal stood on a crate and announced a terrible news to the twenty well-trained RP "paladins" in front of him with a sad face.

Although one of these fellows was neither holy nor knightly, let alone well-trained, they were dressed in uniformly dyed recruit chain mail to make this stop, and the momentum alone was quite intimidating.

While Tepal informed the knights of this "terrible" news, the outcasts who had been searched by them also showed some sadness.

They didn't know that it only took three days for players to die once and then come back to life, and they were simply honoring the death of these brave men who had protected them from making their way to the Crimson Keep.

But then, Tepal's voice rose in vain, and he shouted in an agitated and sonorous tone:

"However, we can't ignore the fact that only the 2 remaining members of the hero's 24th Hunter Squad have completed their mission! They escorted 17 homeless people safely to our camp, giving the innocents the possibility of starting a new life.

This is the embodiment of the creed of the Knights of the Riptide, and it is the will of the Holy Light that inspires our warriors to never retreat and never give up their duties even in the face of despair!

Let's congratulate our knights with a round of applause! ”

"Bang Bang Bang"

The applause rang out, and the two young players who had survived the encounter walked up to the crowd with solemn faces, raised their fists and slapped them on their breastplates, while the NPCs around them showed respect to the two young knights.

The scene looked decent, but many in the crowd were whispering.

"I said, if Lao Hu and his four brothers can take some time to improve their basic swordsmanship to mastery, they won't encounter the same number of gnolls and will be beaten until only two are left. They were either elite gnolls or ordinary bandits, and they were so hungry that they jumped out to grab something.

After experiencing a large-scale crackdown on banditry, the local gnolls will not take the initiative to jump out to find trouble unless they are dying of starvation. ”

The riptide rider in the crowd, "Arcane Master Marlene", whispered to his companion "Ranger Captain Patton", who was applauding very perfunctorily:

"It's a shame to just say it, and it's a shame that the NPCs didn't see the scene."

"What's the solution? Lao Hu Tie was determined to play an administrative career, and let him practice swordsmanship and say that he had a back pain, and his back hurt a lot, which is not in reality. ”

Ranger Captain Parton similarly scoffed at what had happened today, complaining:

"Also, I obviously agree that the technical power of this ghost game is the best in the world, but can the development team not set the NPC's personality so realistically? I just ran to the river to go to the toilet and met a couple of women freshening up.

Before I could react, they screamed before I could lift my pants, and I wasn't human inside or out.

Damn, the women in the NPCs look at me weirdly now.

But I really didn't mean to."

"What are you two talking about? This is a tribute to comrades-in-arms, can it be serious! ”

Typal in front of him glared at him and scolded, Marlene and Paton, who were caught in the bag, could only honestly admit their losses, and after Typal's eyes turned away, Marlene continued to complain:

"Sacrifice to a ghost, won't they be alive in three days? It's not that I said, Lao Tai's obsessive-compulsive disorder is becoming more and more inexplicable, and I feel that he will be similar to Uncle Ferding if he continues to play. No, he's not as good as Uncle Ferdin.

At least Uncle Ferding has a wife who is willing to put up with his quirks. ”

Parton shrugged his shoulders and didn't say anything more.

A few minutes later, the RP Party's memorial service ended, and the group escorted nearly 400 displaced people to the village of Morland, accompanied by four young mountain guides.

This search team was able to find so many homeless people in three days, all thanks to the guidance of the mountain people guides of the ancestral woodland, although it cost ten gold coins to hire each of them, but with them and without them are completely two mission experiences!

After this method was revealed on the forum by "Blowing the Galaxy with One Punch", in the past few days alone, more than thirty guides have been hired from the Ancestral Woodland.

As individuals blessed by the spirits of the mountains and forests, the mountain people are very sensitive to what is happening in the land of Sike.

It was no secret to them that there were homeless people hiding in this grassland and mountain forest terrain, and although the mountain people were happy to help for free, before the little count of Sharon left, he had specifically told the elders to collect money to do things!

She said that Lord Murphy's warriors were a fair trader and would be upset if they didn't pay them, and it turned out that the warriors were very happy to pay when the mountain people stammered that they wanted money to hire a guide.

The search in the past few days alone has made the mountain guides make a lot of money, but they will not spend the money they get, and will hand it over to the elders, and then the elders will organize caravans to go to the barbarian tribes in the ice bay to buy some "local goods" according to the will of the little Earl of Sharon so that they can continue to trade with the warriors.

In short, relying on Xiao Sharon's operation, he successfully brought the mountain people into the part of the warrior mission, so that everyone involved achieved a win-win situation.

The homeless people can have a place to live, they can be assigned jobs, start a new life under Murphy, the players have done tasks and earned construction points, they can go to the black market store to buy all kinds of good things to increase their strength, the mountain people get the money and clean up the outsiders in their own mountains and forests by the way, the Scarlet Fort has a labor force, and Lord Murphy is even happier when he looks at the homeless people who are sent back to Morland Village every day to register.

It's a good thing that everybody is happy!

"Master Murphy's hussars are coming to fetch us!"

Tepal, who was leading the way on horseback at the forefront, saw smoke rising from a distance, took out the telescope from his horse pocket and looked ahead, then turned around and shouted, much to the delight of the players and NPCs alike.

A short time later, a dozen tall hussars arrived with the same number of recruits.

At the head of the pack was a captain of the Valand Knights, who lifted his mask on his armored steed and shouted to Tepal, who was riding in front of him:

"We were ordered to receive and escort the displaced people to Morland Village, are you soldiers of the Riptide Knights?"

"Yes! My lord. ”

Hearing his team's name being said so solemnly by the NPC, Typal couldn't help but puff up his proud chest, and then he heard the hussar captain say to him in a strange tone:

"Your Commander Ferdin, who broke his leg last night while riding a horse, is recuperating in the village of Morland, and your thirty-odd brothers are there, and he wants you to join him."

"Shame on you!"

After hearing that Uncle Ferding broke his leg, many RP players in the crowd covered their faces on the spot, and even Tempal couldn't hold back, good guys, is this the second leader of their Riptide Knights?

Is it really necessary for a knight like Namasari to exist?

Either he will be expelled in a few moments, so as not to be embarrassed in the future.

However, he still had to deal with the past, so Tempal nodded solemnly and said:

"Thank you for your help to our companions, 427 of our homeless people have been preliminarily registered and are now all handed over!"

He took out the roster and handed it to the hussar captain in front of him, who nodded and wrote a receipt for Tempal, which he could use to exchange for construction points from the civil servants in the administrative department.

427 people is 43 construction points, and each person can basically get 1.5 points if they are evenly divided, which sounds pitiful.

But the Riptide Knights aren't just this search team in action, just the thousands of people found in the past few days are enough to contribute 20-40 construction points to each member of the current 81 Riptide Knights.

At this rate, if the three teams are not lazy, then at the end of this stage task of "Demographics of Transasia", each of them can get 120+ construction points, which is enough to exchange for 1-3 rare weapons and armor, a magic book or a high-level skill codex in the black market of the Blood Rat Gang.

For new players who have just entered the game, this is a huge reward, after all, the equipment in this game is really quite valuable.

What's more, they can also level up and do tasks when searching for homeless people, and basically when the tasks are completed in one stage, the overall strength of the entire knight order will be greatly improved.

After all, they are team battles, and they are all RP players who pay attention to the sense of experience, and the need for equipment and strength is not so strong.

In particular, the Riptide Knights also have a dedicated quartermaster who will collect and craft various consumables and distribute them for free when necessary, which alone is different from other players' lone wolf and small team gameplay.

"Yo, Chief Taipal!"

While the hussar NPCs were receiving the outcasts, more than a dozen recruit players also approached the Riptide Knights on their horses, led by the happy stick lieutenant Tiger and Par Rider Lin.

This guy and Tempal have played dungeons together before, and the two are quite familiar.

He greeted Tempal in a strange interpreter's voice, saying:

"Look at how embarrassed you guys are, seriously, if your guys are going to look like this, I'm going to kick them in the ass with my boots."

"Be serious! Knight, you represent hussars with a glorious tradition. ”

Tepal looked at the cool and shiny plate armor on Lin's body and the armor specially worn for the war horse, and he replied in a sour tone:

"As for my knights, they're just too tired to sleep in the open, and sooner or later they'll be able to tap into their potential and catch up with you seniors, and I'm sure of that."

"Yes, yes, we old players are the worst, and we like to bully you newcomers."

Pro grinned, and he whispered to Typal:

"Don't say that the brothers don't take care of you, in three days, Commander Valand will recruit the second batch of recruits, you hurry up and count your brothers who have attained the endurance and strength standards and are willing to learn horse warfare and turn into heavy cavalry, and let them sign up.

Even if you don't have to turn the wings, the training in cavalry and charge tactics during the rookie period is the best experience you will find in Transnesia!

This time, it is Dou Heji who is in charge of registration, and I will give them a priority in hiring our own people in advance. ”

"No problem!"

Tepal's eyes lit up, and he immediately promised:

"We can have at least 20 people."

"20 is not enough, this time there are many recruits, it is best to come to 30! There is also news that the development team is about to come to a big wave. ”

Sharing his gossip, he frowned and said:

"Someone said something from Fa Ge, starting next week, there will be new places distributed every week, if you can still find someone, hurry up and get it! Didn't Fa Ge tell you and our Bang Brother about the 'stronghold' in private before?

I guess next week's update will have something to do with that.

If the development team gives you the right to manage the stronghold, but you can't handle it, then it's a shame to be a big brother. ”

"Hmm."

Tepal nodded and said nothing, and as he watched as he escorted the homeless people away with his recruits, the leader of the RP Party clenched his fists with electric eyes.

He returned to the position of his brothers, and called some of the captains to them and said:

"Brothers, a friend I made during my travels told me a secret message that the mysterious portal of Translancia will fluctuate in the near future. You'll need to recruit more members for our Riptide Knights in your taverns, the land needs us and needs them! ”

"Don't worry, Typal."

The big guy with the ID name "Rock Hammer" said in a deep voice:

"There are so many credible brothers waiting to be summoned, and as soon as the portal opens, the warriors of the Light will rush to Transncia to join in the feud! And our Locke Family's Locke Hammer, Locke Hammer, Locke Hammer and Rock Hammer, as well as Locke Wood Hammer, are all ready to go! ”

"Well, our Riptide Castle is about to stand on this land."

Tepal looked back in the direction of Sikoring, and after a moment's thought, he said to the others:

"We must show our ability and courage to Lord Murphy as soon as possible, and I propose, don't rest, you follow your guide back to Sico, and I will go to the village of Morland to pick up Fordin and his soldiers, and we will make a few more trips in the next week.

Strive to lead over 10,000 outcasts for Lord Murphy before the mysterious portal opens!

In this way, he will be able to allocate more of our soldiers, and of course it is not a transaction, we are just spreading the teachings of the Light with our good deeds."

"I'm going to go."

Hearing Typal's proposal, Master Arcane Marlene suddenly said with a bitter face:

"Can I apply to stay in the Crimson Keep?"

"Huh?"

Tepal's cold eyes were thrown over, and Marlene suddenly shouted:

"Chief, I mean I want to serve the team better, so I want to go to Lady Triss's alchemy hut as a slave. Uh, I mean apprentices! I need a little money as start-up capital.

But this way we can earn money for the team and practice alchemy at the same time, so that we don't have to waste extra money on consumables in the future. ”

"Well, that's pretty much it."

Tepal nodded in satisfaction, counted 5 gold coins from his psionic bag and tossed them to him as start-up capital, while instructing Arcane Master Marlene to form a liaison office for the Riptide Knights at Crimson Keep.

I heard that after the construction of the factory in the Under Armour Hills is completed, the team of the administrative office will soon build a large-scale shop in the city, and they must rent one at a low price at that time.

On the other side, in the midnight chamber of the Blood Vulture Corridor.

After being trapped for seven days and unable to go online, Brother Meow and Happy Stick finally returned to their beloved Transcia with a pinch.

The moment he opened his eyes, Brother Woo Meow suddenly let out a wolf howl, and the whole person jumped up from the stone platform and knelt on the ground, looking at the sky with his hands outstretched, and shouted in a broken voice:

"Ah, great Avalon, your loyal servant is once again back in Transcia, where you have been, I swear! I swear never to go far from your holy place again.

Ah, Lao Tzu is finally back!

Let me take a few breaths of the damn humid air of this vampire crypt! Ah, I want to kill you,, the reality is really boring, it's better here. ”

"That's not what you said when you looked for a young lady to rub her back!"

The happy stick next to him got up and kicked the embarrassed meow brother, he said:

"It's still the money that Lao Tzu paid, and he lost to death."

"I'll give it back to you next time, good brother, let's go, hurry up and do the task, seven days! How much does this have to be pulled down by those guys. ”

Brother Meow rushed to the psionic locker in a hurry to get his equipment back, and followed the happy stick out of the midnight secret room.

As a result, as soon as the two came out, the happy bar was stunned in place.

In front of him stood two vampire girls in blood-vulture robes, one with a double ponytail and the other with a blood-colored cloth covering her eyes.

When he saw her, Happy Bar suddenly felt as if his mind had jumped out of his body and connected with the life in front of him in an indescribable way.

In particular, some of the spiritual senses are almost completely integrated.

It's like an invisible chain that binds these two people from different worlds together.

Happy Bar couldn't describe this feeling, but Melia Collandor in front of her stepped forward with the support of her sister Winnie, and took the initiative to lean over and say to Happy Bar:

"Welcome back to Translasia, master."

"it!"

Happy stick's hands and feet are cold, and he bursts into a foul mouth.

"?"

Brother Meow next to him was stupid.

The vampire girl's shout of "master" in front of him made his hair stand on end, and his eyes danced back and forth between the happy bar and the girl with a look of horror.

After holding it for a long time, he viciously grabbed the collar of the happy stick and screamed:

"You're honest! What are you and Fa Ge all PY on? Why did he send you an electronic wife? And most importantly, why didn't I! That's not fair! I want it too! ”
