Chapter 631, Adventure Quest

Hao is training the newly arrived army of one hundred tribes, and he is also standing with them on the playground. It is summer, and the red sun shines down, and the whole playground looks hot. Everyone is covered in sweat. It was like being drenched in water, including Hao, but he stood up straight, and the hundred tribesmen who were often hanged and beaten these days also stood up straight, not daring to move.

With daily drills, punishments, setting an example, and enough food, in just five days, Hao has made these clansmen obedient, and he just practiced every day. Although it’s only been a few days, there are already some orders and prohibitions. felt it.

Suddenly at this moment, Nuo Duo ran from the courtyard, and before he got close, he loudly said to Hao: "God, God, as you expected, that mission appeared!!!"

Hao glanced at Nuo Duo, Nuo Duo immediately stood in the shadows and waited in awe, and then he waited for at least half an hour, when many human beings were already trembling, Hao said: "Okay, let's disband, The non-commissioned officer took the members of his team to receive a bowl of herbal tea, and then went to eat after half an hour of rest, above."

After all the human race had entered their dormitory, Hao walked towards Nuo Duo and brought him to his room. As soon as he entered the room, Nuo Duo immediately said: "Listen, it is as you expected, That mission has appeared!"

Hao smiled and poured a cup of herbal tea for Nuo Duo, Nuo Duo was also hot all over, took the herbal tea and drank a large cup, and then Nuo Duo said excitedly: "God, you are so powerful, how do you know that the Adventurers Guild Will you send out this mission?"

Hao smiled and said: "It's actually not difficult. It's nothing more than inferring from the recent food prices of the Plant Alliance. Food price fluctuations often mean financial changes or disasters in peaceful times, but If it is during a war, it means changes in the battle situation. If you think of the nearest enemy that the plant alliance needs to fight, there is no doubt that it must be the underworld camp, or at least the lower plane forces related to the underworld camp. "

Speaking of this, Nuo Duo understood, and he suddenly said: "So it turns out that if the camp of the lower plane wants to break through to the Great Desolate Continent, it must either rely on rituals, summons, or blood sacrifices, unless it breaks through from the underground world." Passage, but it is too difficult, or it is like burning the world tree back then, directly opening a huge gate of hell, which is almost impossible to reproduce, so in case of emergency, the plant alliance government will assign adventurers union I understand this task."

Hao smiled and took the task briefing report from Nuo Duo, his face gradually became calm, the task report was the same as he expected, the only difference was the remuneration, which was nearly higher than what he expected times, which essentially means that the officials of the Plant Alliance seem to be a little anxious.

It's time to be anxious... But this also means that the strength of the dark camp is likely to be much stronger than he expected.

This is a quest issued by the Adventurer's Guild, but the prefix of this quest has the word legal system, which is not a routine task. Generally speaking, the quests issued by the Adventurer's Guild are divided into three categories, the first One category is ordinary, as marked on most quests, which is related to the content of the quest itself. This type of quest will be evaluated by the Adventurer’s Union based on the amount or items given by the employer, and then from it The commission is ultimately the amount that the adventurers can get after completing the mission.

The task prefix of the second category will have the word "required". This is the adventurer task of that level that must be completed every year according to your adventurer level. Of course, there will be rewards, and the rewards are the same as ordinary tasks, but you do not have There is room for rejection, usually only one of several mandatory tasks can be chosen.

The third category is the type of tasks that Hao has seen so far. Adventurers usually call them elite tasks, or superhuman professional tasks. Usually, they can only be received by a certain type of occupation. Among them, the required occupation The most common is the legal system, because the legal system is really a bit omnipotent, and this type of task often requires at least level [-] and above adventurers of a certain career path to be able to accept it. The legal system is slightly lower, but at least you must First-level magicians are the only ones who can do this. Generally speaking, the rewards for this type of task are the most lucrative. Not only will the Adventurer’s Union not take a cut from the reward, but the Adventurer’s Union will also provide an extra sum of money for adventurers who complete this task. bounty.

The task introduction that Hao received stated that the bonus for completing the task was a second-order magical wonder, and the extra bonus was five hundred spirit stones. The price of second-level magic wonders was usually between two thousand and three thousand spirit stones. Even whether it is capped or not, the key is to look at the attributes of this magical object, and the five hundred spirit stones are obviously an extra bounty given by the adventurer's union, which is already very rich.

The task content is to have at least one second-level magician, or three first-level magicians, to investigate a total of eight areas around Sulan City, to find out whether there is a sacrifice magic circle, a summon magic circle, or a magician from the lower plane. Magic leaks and the like need to be confirmed with a magic mark.

Ai Yi is a second-tier magician, it is enough to take on this task, and it is impossible for Hao to let Ai Yi complete this task alone, he has been waiting for this task, not only for the task itself, but to confirm The Plant Alliance's attitude towards the underworld camp, the second is to confirm the Plant Alliance's confidence in the next war, and the third is his main purpose for waiting for this mission... To investigate the legend of the half-breed magician who was killed by the Holy Throne treasure.

As the only second-tier magician in Sulan City, Ai Yi has been watched by people who care about her every move since she came to Sulan City. Apothecary workshop, buying wasteland to build a resident, or even buying human and dwarf slaves, training human slaves and so on, all these are in line with her status as a second-level magician, which is her desire to use Sulan City as an adventure group for a long time resident performance.

Although Su Lan City is a town, it is far less attractive to extraordinary professionals than big cities, but the environment here is beautiful, there are few legal professionals, and the competition is far less fierce than big cities. In fact, there are some second-level magicians who can do He made the same choice as Ai, that is to choose a place with a beautiful environment and less competition as his main activity place. As long as he becomes a high-level magician, the local government will often sign certain agreements with him, and then the government will provide a large sum of money without interest. Loans, as well as some bonuses, share most of the magic tower's expenses, so that this third-level magician has his own magic tower.

So far, Ai Yi's actions are still normal, but if she suddenly takes her own adventure group to go deep into the surrounding area of ​​Sulan City to investigate or something for no reason, then there will be problems with this behavior, and people who are interested will not May not be suspicious.

Although doubts may not necessarily lead to action, but this will create variables, and Hao is the last thing to want to change, people's hearts are unpredictable, maybe in a flash, some people will make some actions that he can't even expect , God knows what will happen then, so he must avoid this possibility.

Hao carefully checked the mission briefing for a long time before he said to Nuodo: "Please, Mr. Nuodo, you can go to the Adventurer's Guild in the afternoon, and we will take over this mission."

Nuo Duo smiled and nodded in agreement.

After lunch, Hao continued to fiddle with his blueprints. The dwarven slaves have not yet arrived, so the weapon making has not yet started. Hao thinks that the design of these weapons can be further optimized. His goal is to produce a portable, powerful weapon. Moderate and mass-producible semi-magic weapons, this weapon will make his clansmen become the main force on the battlefield, and if the number is sufficient, it can even fight against the regular army of weak races.

After working on the design for a while, Hao looked at the clock on the wall, then went to wake up the new arrivals after a nap, and at the same time told the original team to train well, and he started training these new arrivals again.

These are Hao's daily routines, regular, rigorous, and no fun at all, and he doesn't need the so-called fun.

There was nothing to say all afternoon, until after dinner, the elves habitually gathered in Hao's room, and Hao said his plan, and all the elves immediately talked about it, and Ai asked directly. He said to Hao: "No way? Is the action of the dark camp so fast? It spread from the elf empire to this side so quickly? But I have read it from some magic books. It is said that the dark camp exists. , Their concept of time is different from ours, and they tend to spread at a snail-like speed from our point of view, but when we come to our senses, they are already as indestructible as weeds, so have they come over now?"

Hearing Ai Yi directly quote a sentence from the book, Hao shook his head slightly and said: "The concept of time in the dark camp is indeed different from that of us living creatures. They belong to the kind that can study for tens of thousands of years for one goal. Even the lowest-level undead creatures of the underworld can live for tens of thousands of years, and their lifespan is almost nothing to them, but this does not mean that they are really at the speed of snails. The attack method of the underworld camp is often the erosion of death breath, which causes death mutation in a certain area, undead creatures appear, mutated undead creatures, and underworld undead creatures. When mutated undead creatures appear, the army of the underworld camp It will often come, and this is what the top leaders of the Plant Alliance are afraid of, and our task is to search for magic nodes that may cause erosion of the underworld camp, summon magic circles, sacrifice magic circles, etc. "

Many elves began to discuss again, and the general content was nothing more than these magic nodes, the origin of the summoned magic circle, and how to eliminate them.

Hearing this, Hao continued: "Generally speaking, methods such as magic nodes, summoning magic circles, and sacrifice magic circles can allow the dark camp to open channels, except for a very small number of methods that are directly provided by the lower plane where the dark camp is located. Formed by erosion, most of them should be drawn by real living people, and even the sacrifices are provided by them, and what we are looking for is generally such a node, as long as the magic circle is destroyed, find the person who drew it , basically can destroy the coming of the underworld camp."

One of the handsome young men named Billy frowned and asked: "God, although I have seen such people from many races in books or newspapers... But are they crazy? Summon the next plane Creatures, whether they are demons, demons, alchemists, or those monsters from the underworld camp, will kill the summoner as soon as they are summoned, which is even more terrifying than killing them. They will play with their souls, Or become a monster. For example, I heard that monsters in the underworld camp like to stitch living things into stitch monsters. , were they deceived and controlled?"

Hao was silent for a while, and Nuo Duo said at this moment: "Billy, you don't understand this. Maybe in our opinion, we will never live enough, and we even want to pursue immortality, but in some societies the most In the eyes of the people at the bottom, this world is a hell and purgatory for living people. They feel extremely painful every day they live. They want to destroy this world, destroy the people around them, and even destroy themselves, so they go to summon the creatures of the next plane. Anyway, draw Summoning magic circles, drawing sacrifice magic circles, etc., don't even need magic power, as long as there is life, so it's fine if you don't know about it. If they know the existence of this thing from some books, they will have no hesitation If you want to do this, you don’t even need to think about it, as for being unable to be reincarnated forever... When they really experience that horror, it will be too late to regret it.”

Another elf also said at the same time: "In addition to these desperate people at the bottom of society, or members of lower races, who are extremely desperate, there are also some brain-dead people who think that those lower-plane creatures are simply too cool. Yes, they want to join it and become one of them, some of them are really peerless villains, their souls are born to belong to the lower plane, but there are more of them who are so stupid that they think it's cool , I thought it was so cool, I ran to summon it without knowing anything, do you still remember the town of Elfite on the border of the Elven Empire more than 200 years ago?"

All the elves were stunned for a moment, and then they all nodded their heads again and again, their faces turning pale.

Hao also knew about that incident, because the impact of that incident was so great that the elves had constitutional amendments after that incident.

There are nearly 100 million elves living in that border town. What happened was an elves public high school. A few elves children in it accidentally found a fragment in the library, and there was a record on the fragment. The pattern of the sacrificial magic circle, and these young people are the brains that the elf said just now. They think the description of the lower plane is so cool, and there are demons, so they really drew the sacrificial circle by themselves.

Of course, they didn't dare to sacrifice their own compatriots or their own lives, so they used some kittens and puppies to sacrifice, and then this sacrificial circle actually communicated with the lower plane. At the beginning, only some consciousness and voice could appear, and some promises were given to these elves, promising to let them reincarnate as devils. These young people were overjoyed. Under the attack of brain damage and ambition at the same time, they actually kidnapped several elves and came to sacrifice , and then something went wrong with this sacrifice. They communicated with a lower plane called Fat Hell. all showed up.

When the elf government found out that something was wrong, the whole town was turned into various pieces of meat, even the ground, and even the houses were turned into pieces of meat, like living things, and the 100 million elves living in it, they all turned into pieces of meat. Becoming a part of it, the most terrifying thing is that they are all still alive, living in the form of some kind of twisted flesh, unable to live or die.

In the end, it was the ancestor of the elves who personally destroyed the town, completely dispersed the erosion of the lower plane and low latitudes, and also destroyed these poor elves. At least their souls were liberated.

This is the lower plane. Although it is not as weird and terrifying as the low latitudes, it is also the most terrifying existence of creatures in the real world. In many horror novels, the low latitudes are not mentioned, and the creatures of the lower planes are used as the horrors. main character.

Hao said: "Because of this, the plant alliance's reaction is also a matter of course. Our goal is this adventure mission. While completing the mission, we also need to investigate the area of ​​the underground treasure of the mixed-blood magician. According to the clues I know, that area is in this place..."

Hao took out the map and pointed to one of them, and everyone looked at it. It was a half-hilly and half-canyon area called Thousand Caves, and it was also one of the inspection areas given by the Adventurer's Guild this time.

"With this task given by the Adventurer's Guild, we can explore this area as a matter of course. Of course, we can't go straight to this area in the first place. We put it in the third place. The first two After the area investigation, we will then go to this area, everyone, be prepared, this time it is just an investigation, even if we find something, we will not go deep, and we are still focusing on building a team."

Hao looked at the elves, and he said seriously: "This is related to our next actions, everyone, please work hard."
