Running along the road in the north of the town, passing the grocery store, I met the boss who was walking out to stretch his waist and the patrolling militiamen who were walking by. Qingkong smiled and responded to their usual kind greetings. When it was time for breakfast, when there was light smoke rising above the town, she had already reached the entrance of the village, nodding with the militiamen on guard.
Wishing Town does not have any restrictions on going out of the town. The main reason that has hindered Qingkong's long journey is the danger of the outside world. The stronger monster of the beast that was killed, then fear naturally overcame curiosity, and she had to run away.
"Have learned level 20 protective magic before going out to take risks in the outside world. These are the most basic life-saving skills." Every time Qingkong went to the mage trainer to learn new skills, the trainer couldn't help but remind him.
In her previous life experience, she did not play less games than Qingkong. She possessed the experience and common sense of how to play a role-playing game well. In order to transition to the next stage more smoothly and reasonably, and walk out of Novice Village, she persisted until she was 22. level, learned all the combat skills that can be taught by the novice village mage trainer, and purchased not sophisticated but adequate equipment.
Running all the way to the north, the houses and human tracks gradually fade away, and light yellow continuous grain fields appear on both sides of the road. Looking farther away, you can see the gradual transition of green grasslands and rolling mountains. Today is a clear sky , seems to be an auspicious day for travel, which makes Qingkong, who is full of longing for the journey, feel very happy and relaxed until——
In the far distance of the light yellow pictures laid on the continuous wheat fields, there are signs of a group of houses, which must be the residence of the horse dealer Little Norton's family. However, what makes the girl feel uneasy is that she seems to vaguely hear the sound of a fight coming from there. He heard the sound and saw the dancing figure.
-
With a little caution, Qingkong avoided the main road, walked through the wheat field, approached from the back of the main house of the horse farm, found a crack in the wall, and secretly looked inside—
Looking into the courtyard through the gap between the main house and the stable, I saw three well-equipped characters fighting with the horse dealer's family. How was it possible to distinguish the two sides of the battle so clearly? In addition to the opponents chosen by the two sides when fighting, what is more important is that the three characters who look like players are not locals at a glance.
Keen Continent is the origin of human beings. Out of respect for the patron saint of this continent and the holy gods, the spiritual zone centered on Apocalypse City believes in knight culture, sacred swords and ancient magic worship. There is a prejudice against machinery and man-made magic, thinking that this is an act of contempt for ancient civilizations, which is so incompatible with the people of Manchester mainland who believe in new technology, machinery and man-made magic... This knowledge is what she told the pastor It is learned from the creation story and world knowledge.
At this moment, the three characters fighting the horse dealer's family here are either holding laser cannons or wielding electric hammers. Even the character who looks like a priest is wearing flying glasses that seem to be needed for flying an airplane. Not to mention the three small propeller aircraft parked beside them, these equipments are incompatible with the classical and traditional dressing habits of Keen Continent.
[Are these players from Manchester? ] Seeing a player from another continent for the first time, Qingkong felt very curious, but the danger outside still prevented her from joining rashly. She could detect the huge gap in level between them, and she could also detect the bad intentions of the visitors.
"Damn! These NPCs are really troublesome!" The man wielding the electric hammer couldn't help cursing after another miss, "I just want to grab a horse for fun, this remote place, I didn't expect NPCs to be so hard to kill!"
"Calm down, move quickly! Quickly and quickly, don't cause a lot of NPCs to appear inexplicably later, it will be troublesome! Just like the farm that I robbed last time—" the character firing the laser cannon urged Standing and fighting, and looking around from time to time, her eyes almost glanced at the clear sky hiding outside the wall, but fortunately she reacted quickly enough.
"You two came up with such bad ideas, what's the fun of killing these NPCs? We were chased and killed by NPCs all the way... As a logistics, I'm tired..." The girl wearing flying glasses complained softly, trying hard Unhesitatingly cast spells on two companions fighting on the front lines.
"Okay, it's not your fault, you're always getting lost, so we don't even see the clues for the dragon slaying mission." The gunman responded to the girl's complaint, shot back and crashed from the side Collie, and then pointed the gun at a middle-aged man dressed as a farmer, preparing for his next fatal blow.
[Not good... They are really going to kill the horse dealer! ] Qingkong felt something was wrong, silently recited the mantra of Level 2 Fireball Technique for a second, and shot the fireball through the wall towards the shooter!
No pain, no pain, the fireball hit the shooter's right shoulder—"Who is it?!" He yelled angrily, turned his face away, and at this moment—
Suddenly another character rushed into the gate. It was an uncle with dark brown hair. He seemed to be about forty years old, but he was tall and strong, wearing shiny silver armor, riding on a horse inlaid with golden hoofs. On top of the black horse, wielding a huge sword carved with a hilt of winged feathers, golden streamlines and inlaid sapphires.
He yelled—"Crack!!!—"—jumped off his horse, swung his sword at the man holding the electric hammer, and a murderous golden light leaped from the ground to the sky, and slashed straight at him! —
Perhaps because they were startled by the sudden intruder, the three Manchester men failed to react in the first second, causing the left shoulder of the Hammer Warrior in the front row to be slashed by the sword energy, screaming and piercing the sky, Doesn't look bad...
At this time, the people of the racecourse took advantage of the situation, and three horse dogs rushed out of the stable, two grooms kept throwing spears, and two rushed towards the priest wearing flying glasses with sharp swords.
"Not good! Run!!" The priest girl yelled, and took the lead to rush to the spiral aircraft parked behind her, and quickly put on her equipment.
The companions in the logistics station had all given up the battle, and the other two naturally panicked and staggered while fighting and retreating. In the end, they were stabbed with a spear and left the field seriously injured, fleeing from the territory of the horse dealer Norton's family.
"Come out." Putting away the giant sword, the uncle who rescued the scene shouted in the direction where the clear sky was hiding.
Qingkong looked at him through the gap, met the kind look in his blue eyes, and smiled back, then walked around to the door and walked into the courtyard being cleaned by the farmers.
"A newcomer who just came out of the Wishing Village?" The middle-aged man asked kindly, "Are you going to Tianqi City? - So you came here to buy horses?"
"Yes, my name is Qingkong, thank you for your help." Qingkong replied with a smile, couldn't help but look at the black horse parked beside him, and asked, "How much is this horse?"
"My name is Sandy." The middle-aged man introduced himself first, and then answered her question, "50 gold."
"Five, fifty gold?!" Qing Kong almost choked on her own saliva. Although this horse was not of an ordinary breed at first glance, and was also very expensively dressed, she didn't even think about the offer of fifty gold. Dare to imagine the amount, "Is it so expensive to buy a horse?..."
"This horse is a well-known horse, so it is more expensive. His name is Heifeng, and his speed is three to five times that of ordinary horses." Sandy patted the back of the black horse and comforted her, "Just ask the horse dealer The price won't be that expensive, don't worry."
Qingkong immediately ran to the middle-aged man dressed as a groom standing in the middle of the yard who was directing the cleaning, and asked, "May I ask you to buy a horse? I want to buy a horse, how much does it cost?"
"Yes, I am Norton who is a professional horse seller. Everyone is used to calling me Little Norton. Regarding horses, there are two stalls. Adult horses are 100 silver, and juvenile horses are 50 silver. If you specify a stall, I will take you to choose the color." Norton is concise. Then she looked her up and down, and added, "It looks like you're a newcomer, right? - You need 50 silver to learn elementary riding from scratch."
"At least 100 silver is needed?..." Qing Kong felt a trace of despair as his actual savings figure [16 silver and 750 copper] drifted through his mind.
"What? Not enough money?" Sandy came over and asked.
"Well... the money is quite different." Clear Sky was thinking about countermeasures—she suddenly remembered the clip embedded in Nana's memories. At that time, a man named Langdon gave her a ride and took her to Rainbow Moon Castle safely. —
So, she raised her head and asked Sandy: "Uncle, why don't you take me to Tianqi City? Can you?"
Sandy frowned hesitantly, thought for a while, and replied: "It's not impossible, it's just that I have a mission to perform here, and your level is too low to follow me to do the mission, but it will be dangerous if you can bear it." Waiting for me to finish the mission, I'd be very willing to take you to Tianqi City, because I also want to return there to hand in the mission."
"Oh, that's it..." Qing Kong thought about it—[Uncle Sandy knows the way and has a good horse, it must be the best choice to follow him. It's easy to run around... As long as the task doesn't take too long, it's worth the wait. ]—So, she asked again, "What kind of mission is it?"
"It's a PVP wanted mission." Sandy took out a mission kraft paper inlaid with red borders, unfolded it and gave Qingkong a look, "Chasing and killing a player named Thorens from the mainland of Manchester."
"Solons?!"—As a player with a lot of common sense about games, Qingkong naturally knows that the so-called PVP is the abbreviation of PlayerVsPlayer in English, which means the confrontation between players, but it's just that the Phantom Hunter Ranked No. 1 in this original world The name of San's elite hunter appeared on the wanted list in front of him, and Qingkong was a little surprised by reality.
"Yes, do you know him?" Sandy put away the kraft paper sheet and looked at the girl curiously, "This is the most wanted criminal posted in the military zone of Apocalypse City. He has killed countless Keen people so far."
"How could the player be wanted? What is the principle?" Qingkong still couldn't recover for a while.
"If you kill a local in any area, you will accumulate the local hatred value. When the hatred value accumulates to a certain level, you will be officially wanted by the area. Like Saurons who is now regarded as the most wanted criminal, it is estimated that you can kill him. There are hundreds of people." Sandy explained.
