When this question was asked, all the scouts including Soderol shook their heads. Rody was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized: Wine is a noble drink, and it is not sold in shops at all. Asking them is meaningless.
"I don't know the price, but when it comes to wine, there seems to be some news from Butler Anderson that the harvest of grapes this year is not good. It seems that because of the heavy rain, it is estimated that Kig Town will also be affected.
"That's useful news."
Roddy nodded. The team had entered the Cambay area at this time. The tall buildings around them began to grow low and dark, and the torches that were originally used for lighting on the walls disappeared here. Fortunately, Carter was prepared. Volunteered to walk ahead with a torch, followed Rody's instructions to find several cheap hotels, and then asked the scouts to arrange horses for board and lodging.
And just when Rody was about to enter the hotel, two temple guards in the distance happened to turn around from the street corner holding torches—he turned his head in some doubts, wondering why he saw the hands belonging to the "Rosie Cross" here. , and "environmental acuity" allowed him to quickly draw a conclusion from the other party's conversation:
"Where did you go?"
"It should be over there"
"It's a fork in the road, look for it separately"
Thinking that they came here to track down the escaped heretics, Rody looked at the two temple guards who were gradually walking away, but a message suddenly popped up in his heart: The third step of "The Fall of Priest Nilda" in his impression The first step is to go to a hidden secret passage in the city to find clues—the original function of this secret passage seems to be that the "Viper Cross" was built for evacuation.
The quest line "The Fall of Priest Nilda" is very long. At the beginning, the person to be investigated is "Nilda" himself, but as the investigation deepens, it will be found that he has an affair with "Viper Cross". After more than ten steps, you will learn that the undead forces are even involved... Rody will not mention these complicated things for the time being. The only thing he is interested in is that the secret path is now a "way to make money"
Because the people who built "Viper's Cross" were in a hurry, there were basically traces of various stones and muck left in the secret passage, so the players who investigated here at the beginning of the quest chain could find many scattered " Cracked crystal stone" - this is the "task reward" for this step at the beginning. Although it is only a low-level processing material, it is rare and expensive. When the level is generally not high, this kind of thing can be sold in a certain amount. money.
Reminiscent of the embarrassment of going bankrupt due to the cash-strapped money, Rody almost immediately made up his mind to do it, so after confirming that his subordinates lived in two hotels, Rody immediately called Luge and Soderol—
"Take a few cloth bags, find a tool that can dig things, a mining pick is the best, bring a torch, and come with me."
The order was simply arranged, and Rody himself rummaged through a few pockets, because he was worried about encountering heretics who fled here, he also instructed: "By the way, don't forget to bring weapons, you may encounter battles."
"What is this for?"
"Make some extra money."
"Extra money?"
"Suddenly it occurred to me that there might be something valuable in a place. Let's take advantage of the dark to make a fortune, and it will probably be gone in the future."
Roddy and He walked in front, and Carter and Soderol followed behind. The three of them took six or seven large sacks in total. Ruger borrowed a shovel from the innkeeper, Soderol took the torch, and Roddy Carrying a short bow and holding a scimitar, he walked towards the mission location in his impression.
The road along the way was pitch black, and we encountered two temple guards in the middle, one of which was asked if they saw any heretics, and the three naturally shook their heads—then continued walking for five or six minutes, and the group chatted and chatted. I came to an abandoned residential house near the city wall in the Cambay area.
By this time, no heretics were seen, and the three of them relaxed, and the things they talked about were very casual:
"...What does Luge want to do in the future? Cavalry captain? Or infantry?"
"It's okay to fight on horseback or something, but if I lead a team, I don't think I can bring many people. Such a scout team is almost my limit."
"Well, I probably understand what you mean, a suitable team... to perform special tasks or something."
Rody had nothing to talk about their future career plans, thinking about what kind of job transfer would be more appropriate for these guys. Veterans like Luge, whose personal ability is better than other soldiers, are most willing to be on the front line of the battle. As for the matter, it is better to let him stand behind the battlefield to command than to let him herd sheep - such characteristics, Rody has gradually formed some ideas in his mind.
"Where's Soderol? Have you encountered any problems recently?"
"There are not many problems. The main reason is that I feel that my swordsmanship has reached a certain bottleneck, and it is difficult to improve." He continued bluntly: "The people in the scout team are not as strong as me. If we fight with you...the way you are going is really not good. Good for practice."
This is true. Although Rody now has an attribute advantage that can crush Soderol, if he, who is a berserker, is allowed to spar, weapon wear and tear will definitely be a big problem.
"Well, I'll think about this. When we get to the place, let's get down to business."
Rody stopped and identified the surrounding buildings—because it was 6 years at this time, and some details were not the same as in 590, so he frowned and thought for a moment, and finally confirmed the room with the hidden passage, and walked walked over.
Suo Deluoer held the torch in his left hand, and drew out his long sword in his right hand. Luge stood at the end of the line tacitly, turned around and noticed the shadow of the building behind him, but when they came to the door of this house, Roddy He stopped suddenly: "Wait..."
The improved sense of smell brought about by the "sensitivity of the environment" made him smell a faint smell of blood, which made him immediately vigilant, and Soderol even noticed the almost indistinguishable footprints not far from the door—"Someone has been here, Looking at the traces, it should be within today."
He bent down, wiped the floating dirt with his hand, and continued: "The trace has changed here—it seems that he tried to cover it up... No, it's not a cover up, this person crawled in."
Although Rody could also recognize the traces, it was impossible for him to infer such a detailed thing. He frowned after hearing Soderol's words, and slowly kicked open the wooden door with his feet in doubt.
The arrows on the arrow rest were aimed at the front, ready to snipe at any target that jumped out, and he listened to all the movements around him, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that if someone entered the room, he probably would At this time, he has already escaped through the secret path, and he will not wait here to sneak attack anyone.
Opening the "surrounding environment status bar", Rody quickly found the secret passage behind the fireplace, but when he got closer, the smell of blood in the air suddenly became stronger—the faces of several people were a little weird, Rody thought Thinking, open the "Status Bar of Peripheral Characters", pick up the torch and machete and go down first: "Luge is on guard at the door, close the outer door, and Soderol follows me."
After finishing speaking, he walked down the narrow downhill path.
At this time, it was only two minutes before Akasha fell into the secret passage. It can even be said that she had just rolled down on her front foot, and Rody pushed open the door outside on her back foot.
So Rody didn't take a few steps, and saw Akasha lying in a pool of blood.
"What's happening here?"
Because he could directly see the blood gauge displayed on the top of the surrounding missions in front of him, he immediately knew that the opponent had no ability to resist, because the remaining 6% of the opponent's body and the serious injury status displayed on the top of the opponent's body indicated that the opponent was dying...
"This level... is a bit familiar."
Rody illuminated Akasha's body with a torch, and the first thing he saw was her fractured right arm with a strange angle, and then a large piece of blood that was almost completely soaked on her back
"Internal injury? What's the matter?"
Akasha was lying on the ground, so it took some effort for Rody to pull her dusty face away, and after a closer look, he immediately remembered that this woman had seen it before.
It was at the entrance of the Pig's Head Bar. This very high-ranking woman seemed to be the leader of several heretics. She seemed to be there when the assassination happened today—Rowdy was far away and did not hear her and Bishop Rubens He said something in between, so at this moment he immediately regarded Akasha as a heretic who "attempted to escape".
"who?"
Suo Deluoer frowned at the back, and felt that it was a bit strange for a half-dead woman to appear in such a place, and the sword in his hand had even been pulled out—in the field of vision, Rody was holding a woman with an unusually attractive figure in his hands ,Because of the light, Akasha's pale cheeks showed an even more lovable temperament, no matter how you look at it, she is a superb beauty...
But this beautiful woman was looked at by Rody's hand, but then she let go like throwing garbage—Akasha "sucked" face down and hit the ground, the sound and scene made Sodro The corners of Er’s mouth twitched, and his eyebrows raised—when he raised his head, he found that Rody didn’t even seem to be interested in taking a second look, and he said as he walked, “It’s just a heretic, she’s seriously injured and waiting to die, we don’t care about her, just turn around and wait for death Just drag the corpse to the monastery..."
Suo Deluoer couldn't understand the last sentence of "It's estimated that I can exchange some prestige". He didn't forget to turn his head to signal Suo Deluoer to keep up-"Here, what we are looking for is inside, the pocket is ready, by the way, throw that shovel over to me..."
Suo Deluoer's eyebrows twitched and looked at the woman who was about to make no sound, and he really felt that Luo Di's way of thinking was a bit weird... After all, it was a person, how could he just throw it away like an item
In fact, Luo Di has little interest in the life and death of such a high-level heretic—"Mr. The lunatic of Viper Cross, at this time, he didn't make up for it immediately, because his "modern man" character has a little kindness and compassion.
And Suo Deluoer looked at the dying Akasha, held up the torch and looked at it. With a cautious personality, he finally asked, "Do you want to search her?"
"It's okay to search now, you look at the torch, I'll look here first."
Rody lowered his head to look for traces of crystals on the ground. He looked like a gamer with a financial obsession—or a "lonely life" otaku look. He had no interest in Akasha who was lying beside him.
"The big river flows eastward, the stars in the sky are connected to the Big Dipper... Hey, there really are"
He sang songs indiscriminately, turned over the ground happily, picked out a white crystal stone, looked at it, stuffed it into the cloth bag with a smirk on his face, and then continued to search with his head down.
