"By the way, aren't the two things in your hand taken from the death knight?" The giant man saw that he had already finished the introduction, and quickly cut to the topic.

Yi Xuan nodded and said, "Well, yeah, what's the matter?"

"Oh, it's nothing." Loken pretended to be indifferent, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and suddenly slapped his head, "Oh, I almost forgot, we are here to do the task, you didn't pick this up originally. There is no way to do the task, but I can share it with you, how about it, do you want to do it together?"

Yi Xuanxin said that of course it's good, and NPCs will also share tasks, so where to find this good thing. Quickly nodded: "Of course I can. After all, I am also a member of the mercenary team now. I must make a contribution."

Loken had already waited for his words, and a smile appeared on his face when Yi Xuan said this. At the same time, Yi Xuan received a prompt.

System prompt: Loken shared mission,'Tristram's Rescue', whether to accept it.

System reminder: Loken shared mission,'Destruction of Tristram', accept it.

How are two tasks? Yi Xuan looked a little strange, but just missed the experience of dividing the camp and told Yi Xuan not to think too much. Anyway, it was the tasks shared by these people in front of them, so the heart said that no matter what, click to accept immediately.

After receiving the task, Yi Xuan was taken aback, wait a minute, Tristram, isn't this the place name in Diablo

Yi Xuan was stunned when he looked at the words on the watch. In the previous battle, he heard the militia captain shouting "For Lordaeron" before the charge. Then he met Baron Rivendell when dividing the camp, so Yi Xuan has always believed that this game world must be based on World of Warcraft.

Although there are still some discrepancies in some details, which makes people feel a little strange, he also reluctantly accepts this fact, but at this time, seeing the name of the village on the mission description, Yi Xuan, who has been immersed in online games for so many years, is immediately not calm. NS.

If it is said that other villages may be a little vague, Yi Xuan, but Tristram, he is absolutely certain of the name, this is a city in the world of Diablo.

The reason for this is that Yi Xuan has played Diablo for a long time. In his opinion, if you want to find the most representative and famous city in the game of Diablo, then it is not Tristra. Mu is none other than that.

The story of the dark generation takes place in the city and the underground labyrinth beneath the city. In Diablo 2, Tristram has become the mission map for the rescue of Kane.

In Diablo 3, there was a new "New Tristram". It can be said that this Tristram almost runs through the entire Diablo plot and is an indispensable part of it.

Thinking of this, Yi Xuan subconsciously raised his head and looked at the burning village in front of him. If this is Tristram, it would be a bit crude in the dark style, but if you change a famous dark city into After becoming a small part of the map, Yi Xuan suddenly realized that his previous guess about this game might be a little simple.

Yi Xuan pecked the tooth flower, and snorted, not only because the current situation gave him a bit of toothache, but also because he suddenly felt that he was starting to be uncertain about the game in front of him.

Although his heart was already turbulent, Yi Xuan's face was calm, pretending to be calm, he introduced the two tasks first.

Task 1-Tristram's rescue: Tristram is being attacked by the Twilight Knights of the dark camp. Due to the tight frontline forces, the Dawn Knights cannot send troops to rescue. The Falcon Mercenary Group is required to go to the rescue. More than days.

Task reward: 5 gold coins and 35 silver coins.

Task issuer: Knights of the Dawn.

Task 2—The Destruction of Tristram: The humans of Tristram dare to refuse to join the dark camp and must be punished. Due to the tight frontline forces, they can only send the death knight Renn patrolling nearby to attack, in order to ensure the mission It can be successfully completed, and the Falcon Mercenary Group is required to assist Renn in destroying Tristram within ten days.

Task reward: 10 gold coins.

Task issuer: Twilight Knights.

Originally, Yi Xuan used the time to check the details of the mission to conceal his inner emotions, but after reading the mission introduction, his heart was even more confused.

"Wait a minute, these two tasks..." Yi Xuan said hesitantly, wondering why these two tasks were completely opposite, could it be said that he didn't ask the last half of the sentence when he thought of this, but looked up strangely. Glancing at the seemingly impulsive Loken, he said that he didn't expect this person to look loyal, and he would actually do this kind of double-faced thing when taking on the task.

Sure enough, Loken saw Yi Xuan's expression, and a smug smile appeared on his face: "Don't make a fuss, you don't learn to be flexible in this world, but there is no benefit." Then he blinked at Yi Xuan, narrowly. Said: "Haha, how about it, I'm very smart, right?"

Yi Xuan didn't expect that the NPCs inside could be so flexible. He smiled helplessly, nodded and said, "It's really smart." But in his heart, he thought that the task was a bit opportunistic, and Yi Xuan was careful. After taking a look at the task, after all, I am more specialized in the calculation of game content.

There are also problems with the release of this mission. The time limit is different. One requires persistence for three days and the other requires destruction within ten days. If you want to complete both tasks, then just help Tristram persist for three days and then Just destroy the city. In this way, these guys should have come with the idea of making a rudder.

But Yi Xuan immediately discovered that something was wrong. Generally speaking, the system could not release two tasks that were so easy to use. Why did the Knights of Dawn only require the Falcon Mercenary Group to guard for three days? Is it just for these mercenaries to earn experience and gold coins for nothing

This is certainly not without reason. According to Yi Xuan's long game experience, he thinks it is either because they know that the Twilight Knights will retreat in three days, but judging from the time required for another mission to attack for ten days, this is obviously impossible.

So obviously it is the second reason. The Knights of the Dawn only needs these mercenaries to guard for three days, because the Knights of Dawn will send people to support them within three days. Then they will naturally not need these mercenaries to continue to serve. .

The description is wordy. In fact, it was only a few seconds before Yi Xuan figured out these things. Thinking of this, Yi Xuan immediately raised his head and asked, "What if the Dawn Knights come in three days? Follow their requirements. Look, their reinforcements should arrive within three days."

After listening to Yi Xuan's question, Loken immediately showed an appreciative smile on his face. That means, you are quite smart. Then he replied: "What else can I do, then give up on one side of the mission, anyway, the death knights of the Twilight Knights have died, it is impossible for us to attack Tristram alone for ten gold coins. Well, since they can't accomplish things, they can understand that we broke the contract halfway."

For this kind of people who don’t take the agreement to heart, Yi Xuan knows that he should value his interests. Thinking of this, Yi Xuan’s heart sank. The death knight killed himself. If they finally want to hand in the task, Didn’t I become the enemy’s side, so that their plan to confuse the mission would fail, and it would be difficult to guarantee that these profit-only mercenaries would not embarrass themselves. It’s better to talk about things first, and Yi Xuan asked immediately when he thought of this "But I killed the death knight, won't I cause you trouble if I join you?"

Loken laughed after hearing it, "Don't be afraid, you haven't joined the camp when you killed him, and it won't be recorded by the system." Speaking of being recorded by the system, Loken looked like he had insomnia when he slept last night. Naturally, it seems that these NPCs have become accustomed to the rules of their own world, and don't think this is any strange. This kind of realistic game feel once again makes Yi Xuan feel a little strange.

"Okay, let's go to the city, let's talk about it," Loken said to Yi Xuan, walked over and grabbed Yi Xuan's shoulders, looking very affectionate, and whispered: "But I will enter the city later, I may need a little bit of yours. help."

Yi Xuan glanced at him strangely, but Loken didn’t seem to explain. He only dragged Yi Xuan to the gate, and the group followed Loken to Tristram’s gate. Yi Xuan just now Because of the fierce battle along the way, there was no time to observe carefully. Standing in front of the door at this time, I saw the whole picture of Tristram. This place is said to be a town, but it is actually a larger village, with scattered buildings scattered in it. , Wrapped a circle of walls around the periphery of the building. If you look at these walls, it looks a little bit like. The logs of the two cities inside and outside seem to be reinforced with no idea what to use in the middle, forming a not too wide platform. At times, people can stand on it to attack, and militiamen can stand on guard at ordinary times, and the situation outside the town can be seen.

This kind of defense is not the same as a normal village, but it’s no wonder, after all, it’s a game world setting. This is not a modern metropolis. Let alone the forest, monsters can be seen everywhere outside the town. With a defensive point, the people in the city will not die soon.

A few people came outside the gate. There were a few militiamen standing on the wall, walking around stylizedly. It seemed that they belonged to the low-level guards. Like the mercenary shooters, they were a group of public faces without even a name. NPC.

At this moment, all of them looked serious and nervous, as if they were facing the enemy, but they did not respond to people and things beyond their warning range. It seemed that they were not as energetic as the people outside the city before, and they were right in front of them. The battle not far away and the conversations between the few people just now seemed to be completely undetected, until they walked more than ten meters below the city, they suddenly showed a hint of alertness, and suddenly shouted, "Hey, who are you, don't come near," Otherwise we are going to release arrows!"

Yi Xuan had a headache when he saw them, so he was here to do some guards, but thinking about the games he played before, the militia at the entrance of the village seemed to react to the monsters in front of him, and he was relieved. NS. It was a militiaman with a bow and arrow on the wall who was shouting. Although it was harsh, the trembling hands that raised the bow and arrow betrayed their fear.

"Don't shoot arrows, we are mercenaries of the Falcon Mercenary Corps. We took the task and came to help." The thief is obviously more adept at this kind of negotiation, and immediately said with a grinning one step forward.

Hearing him say that, the guard seemed to relax a little, but the expression on his face showed no friendly meaning at all, and shouted: "You just need to defend outside the city. Who knows if your mercenaries will accept it? It’s black money.” The militia was really upright, and even the latter complaint was shouted at the same decibel level. It was obviously a guy who was unreasonable and sophisticated.

Yi Xuan scratched his head when he heard what he said. It seems that these militiamen do not trust the mercenaries. He understands that what the neutral camp is saying is that both sides can eat well, but on the other hand, it seems that they are also people who are not willing to trust on both sides. And after contacting these mercenaries just now, I discovered that these people have no morality at all, and they do things for both sides. It is estimated that after a long time, their reputation has been corrupted by themselves, and they don’t know their hasty choice. Is it right or wrong

Hearing that they were not allowed to enter the city, the seven or eight public-faced NPCs in the back were obviously a little anxious, and they immediately yelled at the back, but Loken and the thieves didn't take it seriously. They seemed to have been used to such treatment.

Na Loken stepped forward and shouted: "Hello, I am their captain."

This self-introduction and this hello seems to have added a lot of points to him. The guard's gaze at Loken doesn't seem to be as severe as when he saw the thief just now, but there is no interface, but a suspicious look. Watching his next move.

"It's not right for you to be like this, buddy. We came all the way to help. Even if you don't come out to welcome us, you can't shut us out." This Loken seemed rough and didn't expect to speak and act in a rude manner. Fine, Yi Xuan watched him dealing with the guards with interest, thinking that he had misread him before, but he didn't expect this kid to have his strengths.

"How about that, we can't be sure whether you are friends or enemies." The guard's tone sounded softer than before, but he was still rude when speaking.

"How could we be an enemy, do you know? We just encountered an enemy outside the city, but we fought side by side with your captain. Although they could not sacrifice, we also succeeded in killing the death knight. We helped you to kill the death knights outside the city. It can be said to have helped you a lot. How can you still say that we don’t know whether we are friends or enemies? The person in the death knight battle is his own.

When the guard heard his words, his face immediately showed a surprised expression, and then he couldn't hide his excitement and asked loudly: "You said you killed the death knight?"

"That's right!" Loken's tone was more assertive than ever before.

"You... How do you prove?" The guard looked very excited and couldn't help leaning forward.

Loken smiled and leaned over to Yi Xuan and whispered, "I'm here when I need you. Let me prove it to him."

Since Yi Xuan has entered the mercenary team, it is naturally obligatory. Although he was a knight killed by himself, he is now taken advantage of by the whole team of mercenaries, but after all, Yi Xuan is just a player. The most important thing now is to complete the task as soon as possible, so he hurriedly raised the rune sword in his hand and raised it to the guard on the wall.

"Gosh, is this the death knight's rune sword?"

"Yes, it is." Yi Xuan answered and walked a few steps forward to make them see more clearly. In fact, this is not necessary. Although their guards are a little dull, it is because the system settings are for these. The mission items have almost reached the point where they can be verified without the use of any tools, so the heads of several other guards immediately appeared on the wall and cheered.

"Oh my God, it really is"

"The death knight was really killed, great!"

There was a burst of cheers from the entire city, and in the cheers, the door in front of them was finally slowly opened.

At the same time, Yi Xuan's watch rang again.

System Tip: Killing the death knight will increase your reputation in Tristram by 500 points, and then increase your reputation in Tristram to friendly.

System Tip: Help the Falcon Mercenary Group gain the trust of Tristram, the progress of'Tristram's Rescue' has been improved, and the current mission participation rate is 23%.
