Chapter 436 Pandora's Box
From the beginning to the end, he was the direct guard arranged by His Majesty to be stationed in the city of Notanos.

Rono didn't know what was in the box, and he didn't understand why Prince Larson would hand over such an important thing to the king at such a time.

He only knew that such a thing was extremely important to His Majesty, and he knew even more that under the circumstances, it was absolutely impossible for him to safely escort such a thing to the king.

So there seems to be only one choice now. The stranger in front of him, an assassin with stealth skills, seems to be the most suitable for him to do this kind of task.

Fang Tian looked at Luo Nuo calmly, the difficulty of this task was unknown from the beginning, no matter what changes occurred, Fang Tian would not be too surprised.

Although Fang Tian enjoyed the process of killing the rebels to earn their reputation, as far as they are concerned, they are going to stop here. Fang Tian has already figured out in his heart how much this last wave of rebel soldiers can get. As for the things that Luo Nuo desperately protected and escorted, although Fang Tian was curious, he didn't have much interest.

He remembered that Tang Qian told him a similar story before, Pandora's Box.

The vibration on the soles of his feet became more and more obvious. Luo Nuo stared at Fang Tian. He gritted his teeth, took out the satin-wrapped box from his backpack, and handed it to Fang Tian. "I can help you delay them for a few minutes. This thing is very important and must be handed over to the king himself."

Fang Tian frowned.

Luo Nuo pointed to the box in Fang Tian's hand, and said very seriously: "Remember, never open this box."

The moment he took the box, a game prompt sounded in Fang Tian's ear.

"Mission: Guard, complete."

"The player is rewarded: 100 points of merit."

"Task Trigger - Mysterious Box."

"Mission description: Prince Larson wanted to escort a box to the king, but you were attacked during the escort. Now, it's your turn to escort it. Remember, don't open the box. "

"Mission requirement: Deliver the box to the king of the empire."

"mission rewards:???"

"Reminder: If you lose items or open the wooden box, the mission will fail by default, and it will lead to special plots."

"Hint: You get a special item-purple sandalwood box (a quest item, its function is unknown, it will drop after death)."

When he came back to his senses, Luo Nuo had already hid in the bushes. Lying in the bushes, he shouted loudly to Fang Tian: "It's now! Go!"

Fang Tian nodded to Luo Nuo, and quickly disappeared at the end of the path.

But after a while, the sound of fighting came from behind Fang Tian, ​​and Fang Tian knew that it was Luo Nuo who was buying time for himself.

Taking a deep breath, Fang Tian tried to calm down. He ran forward while thinking about how to deal with the troublesome task in front of him.

The key issue is still the box.

The box was engraved with a tracking mark by the rebels. Through this mark, the enemy can accurately find the location of the box. In other words, as long as the mark is not destroyed, the chasing soldiers will be continuously refreshed.

Fortunately, Fang Tian knew a little about alchemy.

Alchemy is a very expensive sub-profession. Fang Tian's alchemy level is not low among players. Of course, he can remove the mark in the box, but the premise is that he must open the box and find the specific location of the mark.

And opening the box means the failure of the mission.

This is in an infinite loop.

Very troublesome.

Fang Tian couldn't help thinking that if the wooden box of the task item on his body was not tracked by the enemy, the difficulty of this task would not exist, and he could even calmly go offline, eat something and rest for a while, and wait for the next time he goes online Continue to do the task.

offline rest...

Uh... wait a minute.

Fang Tian suddenly thought of something, and looked at the task reminder again.

The task prompt does not seem to say that it cannot be offline.

It is not allowed, that is to say, you can try it...

Fang Tian looked around, he naturally would not choose to go offline right now.

This place is an unsafe area in the wild.

Tang Qian has repeatedly discussed with Fang Tian that if you are forced to log off in an unsafe area in the game, there will be a delay penalty of half an hour to two hours in the game.

To put it simply, during this period of time, although the player is offline, the player's character is still standing in the wild. As long as a wild monster is spawned casually, the player will undoubtedly die.

For Fang Tian now, the pursuers behind him will arrive soon, and it is even more impossible to go offline here directly, which is tantamount to direct suicide.

So finding the nearest safe zone to go offline seems like a good option.

Thinking of this, Fang Tian quickly opened the in-game map tool to observe the current location.

In one night, he had already left the range of Notanos and came to a wild area. Now he is walking along a trail at the edge of the Terranster forest, and the nearest safe area to him is Wesen Town ahead.

It takes about three hours to follow the trail to the town of Wessen without any obstacles.

Is there a faster way?

Have!
Assuming that he crosses the Terrence Forest, he will be able to arrive at Wesen Town in about two hours.

Once there, Fang Tian can go offline.

Fang Tian couldn't help raising his head. The sun rose from the horizon, and the sky was completely bright. His stealth skill lacked the night level bonus, and the effect was greatly reduced. He was a little worried about whether his stealth skill could still be used against people five levels higher than his level. The rebel knights are activated.

Turning around, Fang Tian quickly sneaked into the short trees on both sides of the road.

He decided to cross the Terranster forest laterally, so as to escape the pursuit of the cavalry behind him.

There is also a reason why Luo Nuo and others did not lead the sword guard team into the woods before. It seems that the cavalry cannot take advantage of the speed after entering the forest, but in fact, if they really hide in the woods, they must face Another very serious problem.

That is the wild creature that lurks in the Terranster Forest.

For a team composed entirely of elite sword guards, it would take them a long time to deal with the wild creatures that popped up in the woods from time to time, greatly slowing down their progress. If you walk from the forest, it will take more time.

Not only that, but in the process of killing the opponent, there will be a lot of dangers.So at that time, Rono chose to take the trail to avoid the wild creatures that he might encounter in the forest.
