Chapter 422
Xue Yang asked tentatively: "Are you General Cloade?"

This old officer was sitting on a chair at the side of the camp. He could easily be ignored at first glance. Just from his appearance, he did not look like a general at all. Instead, he looked like a veteran who had been abandoned by the times. .

Cloade raised his head and asked doubtfully: "Who are you?"

"Lix asked me to come." Xue Yang reported the blacksmith's name, "You should remember him, right?"

"Likes...you mean the little blacksmith?" the old officer murmured to himself, his eyes cloudy, as if he was recalling the past, he said: "He is a great young man, I remember he just joined the army At that time, he liked to show off his blacksmith skills. It is said that three generations of his family have been blacksmiths and have a set of ancestral skills. I still remember that the whetstones used in our team at that time were all improved by him..."

The general raised his head and asked: "By the way, I just sent him a letter a few days ago. Speaking of which, is he okay now?"

"Blacksmith Lix is ​​doing well now, and he also asked me to say hello to you." Xue Yang took out a letter from his backpack and handed it to General Cloade, "This is his reply to you."

General Cloade took the envelope and flipped through it, and Xue Yang's voice rang in his ears at the same time.

"Leeks heard about Fred in the letter you wrote last time, so let us come here, hoping to persuade Fred to surrender to the empire..."

"So you came here for this matter." Cloade put down the letter in his hand, sighed softly, his eyes became more downcast, "Back then, Fred and the little blacksmith entered the boot camp at the same time. , Looking back on what happened at that time, it was really so close, but now, everyone has gone their separate ways."

Xue Yang stepped forward and said, "Then, where can we find Fred?"

"It's about the ore, it's all said in the letter."

"Yes, and a large part of the reason is for the ore."

"Through the Luoyan Canyon, there is a rebel outpost there. Some soldiers of the empire have seen him there. If you want to see him, I will not stop you, but it is dangerous over there, and neither is Fred. The former Fred, I have sent people to look for him, all of them have been gone, so I suggest that you better not do this."

General Cloade paused, and continued: "If possible, I hope you can kill him."

kill?

Xue Yang was stunned, and the game prompt appeared immediately.

"Hint: Mission - A corner of the artifact triggers a side mission."

"Mission Name: Dilemma."

"Mission description: From the general's mouth, you learned that Fred once appeared at the rebel outpost."

"Mission [-]: Go to the rebel outpost, find the rebel squad commander Fred, and try to persuade him to surrender to the empire."

"Mission [-]: Try to kill Fred (There is a chance that the ore will explode after Fred dies.)"

"Reminder: Fred belongs to a special type of soul-type character with a very high sense of autonomy, please be careful."

"Tip: The task split into two may cause the blacksmith Lix's attitude to change, affecting related tasks."

Fang Tian narrowed his eyes, he realized the difficulty of this task.

In fact, the difficulty of the branch of the two missions is extremely difficult. The former needs to sneak into the rebel camp and try to persuade Fred to surrender. , the mission is only half completed, and the mission description does not say that Fred will simply give the ore as a reward to Xue Yang, which means that he may have a follow-up more complicated mission chain.

And the second branch task is not simple, they need to forcibly break into the territory of the rebels and kill a soul-type NPC.

There are a lot of soul-based NPCs in the game. It can be said that most non-dungeon NPCs are soul-based, but sometimes there are exceptions.

The biggest difference between soul-based creatures and ordinary creatures is that under normal circumstances they will not be harmed by magic and can ignore the bonuses brought by game equipment.

Well, even if they were lucky enough to complete the task and explode the ore after killing npc Fred, they would still bear the risk of the blacksmith terminating the task of forging the artifact.

Fang Tian quickly made a judgment. In comparison, the difficulty of the latter was not much lower, but the risk was greater.

However, for Xue Yang, this choice was very simple. After having paid so much, how could Xue Yang give up so easily?It would be nice if killing Fred could reveal the artifact material, but if it didn't, wouldn't his artifact plan be ruined?Xue Yang was naturally unwilling to let so many days of hard work go to waste.

So Xue Yang immediately said: "Thank you for your advice, General, but for us, there are some things we must do."

After finishing speaking, Xue Yang turned around and left the barracks with Fang Tian and the others.

General Ke Luode stared at the backs of Xue Yang and the others for a while, and then said: "If that's the case, I need to remind you to hurry up, there are already a group of strangers just like you who have just received it from me. Task."

"Mission?" Hearing what General Ke Luode said, Xue Yang couldn't help but pause, turned his head to look at the general, and asked in surprise, "What mission?"

General Cloade said calmly: "Kill Fred."

"Hint: Mission - a corner of the artifact, the difficulty will increase."

"Mission description: Since you chose to persuade Fred, you must be quick! You must kill Fred before other players, otherwise, you will lose the trust of the blacksmith."

"Fuck..." Luo Jianbin cursed secretly.

……

These days, everyone has a clear understanding of the terrain outside Notanos City, but it is only outside Notanos City. Once they enter the Falling Rock Canyon area, several people are once again plunged into a map fog.

Following the prompts given by the game, Xue Yang opened the way ahead.

Xue Yang is in a hurry. According to the information given by General Cloade, some players have already gone to the rebel outpost to kill Fred. If they are really successful, then the long list of tasks they have carried out before It’s like wasting all your previous efforts!

This is simply intolerable!
"Reminder: You have entered the Luoyan Canyon area. The current creature level in the area is 70-75, which is higher than the average level of the team. Please be careful."

"Hint: You have entered the area in contention."

"Tip; you have left the empire's territory. Your communications have been interfered with by special energy and have failed."

"Reminder: You cannot enable any communication functions during the failure of the communication status."
