Unaware of the gaze behind him, when he walked out of the monastery, Rody's mind almost immediately sorted out the emotions about Sally, like a machine with no emotions, and after a few minutes, only the future career planning remained in his mind up.
I glanced at the quest bar habitually, and it showed that the quest chain of "Priest Nilda's Fall" had already started, and the prompt on it was "Try to find clues where you picked up the ring."
Rody closed it casually, and didn't intend to continue this task - because the level span of this task chain is huge, the opening condition only needs to be level 1, but the third step must be above level 10, the seventh step A team of 10 people at level 20 is required, and the last step can only be completed after the player breaks through the 30th level of the advanced profession. "It can only be used in such occupations, so he doesn't want to do such tasks with no benefits at all.
Looking at the status of the character, because the final level of the quest itself is very high, a lot of experience points are rewarded when starting this quest chain. Even the initial step with the lowest reward gives Roddy 4000 experience points.
Counting the task of "Save the Duke's Daughter Sally" shown earlier, Rody found that he had the qualification to directly jump two levels. He did not hesitate, and directly selected the upgrade button to upgrade himself to level 5. Taking the experience of level 6 as insurance, he took out the box Bishop Benjamin gave him, and opened it with a "click".
There is a very simple necklace in the box, and the pendant is the most used symbol of the "Rosicrucian" sect - the Holy Triangle.
Delicate Holy Triangle Pendant
excellent necklace
Location: Neck
+2 strength
Equipment: The prestige value of "Holy Cross Temple" is increased to "Friendly".
"God's eyes are always on the world."
A necklace that is better than nothing, Rody thought for a while, and replaced the "mysterious necklace" - the attribute is second, the prestige has been upgraded to "friendly" is a surprise for Rody, the materials of the "Rosie Cross" temple It is abundant, but it is usually not sold to the outside world. Only people with a reputation of "Friendly" or above can buy some affordable and high-quality things at the armament of this religious force. Roddy just needs to replace the armament. a better choice.
"France Armory. This way."
Looking up to confirm the direction, Rody walked towards the equipment sales place of the "Temple" in his memory, but when he was about to close the equipment bar, he suddenly saw the ring on his finger that was found in the Chimera cave—because After reaching level 5, the attributes of the ring itself were activated.
But now that Rody's attributes have skyrocketed due to the safari suit, the attribute bonus provided by the ring is not enough, but he still instinctively glanced at the task reminder opened because the level reached the standard:
"You wiped the ring lightly, and found a line of pale gold writing on it: Hlukji'smier."
Such a simple sentence made Roddy raise his eyebrows—as a technical geek, he is not only proficient in the human language of Blinga, but also dabbles in other languages, because this background knowledge is the key to mastering a game, especially You can quickly find clues when facing tasks. Now, obviously, it is time for Roddy to put this knowledge to use.
Rody couldn't confirm the meaning of this line of writing, but he could tell that it belonged to the Elvish language family. However, elves are divided into wood elves, dark elves, high elves, etc., and he could only tell from the spelling that it belonged to the wood elves. Elvish spellings, and recognized that one of the words meant "light".
light? The wood elves believe in a half-human, half-deer primitive deity. In a sense, they have some origins with the "Druid" sect. The wood elves have a small group, and there are relatively few priests and law-holders. There is a kind of sacrifice that seems to be related to "light"-that is a profession that players cannot choose: "Guardian of Light".
Roddy has only heard about this profession. It seems that the function of the other party is to fight against demons and undead or something. It sounds similar to the paladins in human religion, but it existed earlier, and then almost disappeared, leaving only a few NC survives in the world, and few people have seen it.
"Heh... It seems that the elves and the undead have a lot of festivals."
Rody sighed, but also realized that something was wrong with this ring—it stands to reason that any task should have a verbal reminder in the "mission content", for example, before "The Fall of Priest Nilda", it would prompt where to go to continue Looking for clues. But there is no similar text description for this ring at all—Rody thought for a while, glanced around, walked into an empty alley, raised his fist to make the ring point forward, and said: "Hlukji' smier!"
Nothing happened.
"It doesn't look like a magic item."
Luo Di murmured to himself and put down his hands, and started to leave here, but after walking a few steps, he felt something was wrong, because the reflections of the walls on both sides seemed to change slightly in the corner of his vision——Rody, who was extremely vigilant, focused his attention. After thinking for a moment, he slowly raised his palm, and after shaking it a few times, he finally understood where the problem was.
It turned out that the ring was emitting light.
Because of the strong sunlight at the moment, Rody didn't notice any changes in it before, and it was only when he walked into the dark that the difference of this ring became apparent.
"Illumination ring? What is this?"
Shaking the "flashlight" in his hand, Rody recited the elf language on the ring again helplessly, and the light disappeared immediately. He was a little doubtful about the function of this ring, but he didn't have a clue for a while, so he thought about it. Walked out of the alley and headed towards the Frans Army Quarterly.
Rody is going to leave the main city after buying enough military supplies, because the orcs on the border are still his main source of experience. With new equipment and weapons and a higher level, Rody will definitely let the group of The orc bastard has a good understanding of what a real "harassment tactic" is.
...
April in the 8th year of the Elon calendar should be regarded as a turning point in the history of the Karen Kingdom.
Francis' siege operation against Sally ended in failure this month. The overall plan he had made was completely disrupted. The impact not only made the count feel frustrated, but in a sense, it also made the witch doctor Sarota who had a secret connection with him feel frustrated. Depressed enough.
Let the field of vision look further northwest from Nolan Village, a village on the edge of the kingdom—flying over the endless grassland, and after traveling hundreds of kilometers... When tents spring up like mushrooms in the field of vision, it is considered to have entered the territory of the Beastman Kingdom within.
Herds of sheep and cattle roam the meadows, and the grazing orcs occasionally sing rough songs. Because of poverty, most of them wear simple animal skin clothes, with rough skin and sad faces—and this is also a portrayal of the entire orc kingdom.
The nomads are actually not completely "poor". If all their cattle and sheep were exchanged for the gold coins of the human kingdom, I am afraid that every herdsman's life would be much better than that of the farmers in the Karen kingdom, but the reality is cruel after all. It's very... The hostility to the human kingdom and the isolation from the southern Tasman undead make these herdsmen irreplaceable. It's like guarding gold and silver but having nowhere to spend. The high-priced cattle and sheep can only be used for their own survival For the winter.
A kingdom consisting of 90% grassland and 10% desert, when it comes to living conditions, is much more difficult than Karen Kingdom.
The ruling structure is loose, and the kingdom is composed of more than a dozen tribes ruled by great chiefs. There is far from any "unity" at all. Among them, "Rohar's Hammer" should be regarded as a mid-level tribe in the entire orc kingdom.
At this time, in a village of Rohar's Hammer, there were some groans caused by enduring pain from the huge tent.
There is blue-white smoke in the air, and some strange medicinal fragrance can be smelled from the tip of the nose. The injured orc is lying on the bed covered with animal skins, gritting his teeth and enduring the pain, but after all, there is no such thing as anesthetic in this era. Said, after all, he still has a time when he can't help it.
This orc's body is as strong as a bear, and he can even be said to be a large man in the clan, but his usually majestic appearance is abnormally sluggish at this time—beads of sweat are dripping from his forehead, and his turquoise face is because of Painful and twisted.
A wound slanted across the back was exposed to the air, and the bone could be seen deep. It seemed that because of the delay, it was full of signs of festering and pus, but at this time, most of the rotten meat was cleaned up with a knife, and herbal medicine was applied, and then it was tightened with a bandage.
Hemp bandages are considered valuables in the Beastman Kingdom. It can be seen that he is very important at this time.
"Okay, Xhosa."
Faint voices sounded beside him, appearing peaceful and powerful.
The orc named Xhosa immediately got up and fell to his knees regardless of the pain, and said in a low voice: "Thank you Lord Sarota, Xhosa vows to follow in your footsteps!"
This kind of words seems somewhat flattering or artificial in the human kingdom, but it carries a lot of weight in the mouth of the beasts.
Sa Luota, who is the "chief witch doctor" of the tribe, stretched out his hand and pulled him up, let him sit on the wooden chair beside him, and asked in that calm tone: "So... Xhosa, tell me about your situation in detail. what happened."
"Yes! Lord Sarota, we..."
The orc who was sitting upright let out a breath, and then began to narrate his experience in a low voice.
Xhosa, whose back was cut, returned to the village only yesterday. He passed out at the entrance of the village, the wound on his body was seriously festered, almost half his life was left, and this orc who spent nearly a month crossing the grassland and finally returned to the village on foot ate almost everything that could be eaten along the way... Miscellaneous Grass, hares, dead mice, in short, he walked across hundreds of kilometers of prairie just to tell the witch doctor a bad news——
The intention to establish an outpost in the kingdom of Karen has been detected by humans.
And the outpost where Xhosa was located suffered unprecedented heavy damage!
Combined with the news that the raid force lost ten wolf cavalry some time ago, this witch doctor who already had a high status in Rohar's Hammer slightly clenched the bone dice in his hand after listening to Xhosa's report. , squinting his eyes, sighed as if talking to himself:
"Blood debt must be paid in blood..."
