Regardless of the means, anyway, the pass and the mercenary upgrade proved to be in hand—it would take at least a month or two to get to the fourth-level mercenary team if you follow the normal steps to take the mission and earn credits. After all, for a little-known small team As far as you are concerned, it is not so easy for you to take over twenty tasks, and the competition in this business is fierce. ?. .
To tell you the truth, Hao Ren thought of Taobao on Earth: If this matter was left to the professional accounts of Taobao who got good reviews from Taobao today, it would probably be easier for him to do it. Which website to look at, the ranking system does not rank nine stars and eighteen diamonds, I am ashamed to say that I have a ranking...
However, the other main reason why Hao Ren's small trick is successful today is that the Mercenary Association is too lazy to argue with him, and the world is still in the stage where the rule of man is supreme: the boundary between the fifth-level mercenary regiment and the fourth-level mercenary regiment is not clear. How important is it, even if a group of helpless rookies (in fact, many mercenaries are really not good at fighting, they help solve the troubles of residents, more like contract film production police running errands) to help people find twenty times Both cats and dogs can come up, this is just an artificial boundary for judging whether the team is newly established, even if someone cheats and tricks the Association is too lazy to investigate, plus the elder sister in charge of task registration is in a rush to get off work for dinner, she is too lazy to talk to Hao If Ren disputed, he simply fooled it. Now Hao Ren and his party are carrying their badges (it's a small rectangular piece of metal, similar to a work permit, with a thin crystal plate for storing information embedded in the middle) walking on the streets of the town. Hao Ren held a full set of information about the Beinz Blood Lake incident in his hand, and he asked Becky to inquire about the situation just now, and now he finally has a comprehensive understanding of the whole thing and this mysterious blood lake.
The Beinz Blood Lake is a lake located in the middle of a barren land on the west side of the Holleta Kingdom. The territory of the entire Holletta Kingdom looks like a horizontal and irregular trapezoid on the map, and the Beinz Blood Lake is the It is on the short side to the west, so it is also part of the kingdom's frontier. Beyond the blood lake and further west is the land of scattered tribal states established by the mountain people and some western werewolves. Due to the long history of the Holletta Kingdom, it has passed the early stage of expansion and impetuosity of the great powers, and the current ruler of the kingdom is committed to internal development and to win over the power of neighboring countries. Therefore, it has a good relationship with several tribal states in the west, and the surrounding area of the blood lake has become a very stable border line-this is a good thing for the countries on both sides of the border line, because the area around this lake is quite vast They are all dangerous areas, which are full of violent mutant monsters. Once a war breaks out, the belligerent countries will always use various secret techniques to drive these monsters into the territory of the hostile country. This is a disaster for everyone. The wilderness near the Blood Lake in Beinz is both a defensive barrier and an untimely bomb. It's something that no one can do.
The size of this lake is about 120 kilometers long, and the widest point is more than 40 kilometers. However, there are a series of scattered small depressions at the north and south ends of the lake, as if broken from the red gemstone of Blood Lake. The fallen debris generally spread out for dozens of kilometers, so the entire blood lake is extremely wide. Its biggest feature is the blood-red lake water: including the blood lake body and the surrounding satellite lakes, all water bodies present a bright red color all year round, and the south side is only a short distance away from the Beinz blood lake water system. The small Chardan River separated by a line is extremely clear, and the two waters are very close to each other but clearly separated, which is a spectacle. Hence the name Blood Lake.
Just like the legend that Becky told Hao Ren about the goddess destroying the world, the blood lake is regarded by many people in this world as a holy place related to the goddess. The current mainstream legend believes that the blood lake was transformed by the wine cup that the goddess threw on the world. (Hao Ren thinks this means to make a hole), and the crimson water in the lake is dyed red by the red wine in the wine glass, because the wine glass represents the goddess' anger towards the sins of mortals, so the "blood water" in the lake represents the sins of mortals. As long as the evils in the world are not eradicated for a day, the lake of blood will always be red.
Of course, there are other legends about this lake, such as a drop of blood dropped by the goddess in the world. Or the goddess shed a drop of blood and tears when she saw the rampant crimes on the earth, but because neither of these two statements can "explain" the reason why ancient civilizations were destroyed, they did not become popular. At present, the world's largest sect "Hui Yao Sect" respects the goddess of creation as the supreme god. In order to warn the world not to forget the disasters caused by the arrogance of the ancients, they adopted the most popular first legend when explaining the phenomenon of the blood lake.
Regardless of the legend, the wild and dangerous area around the blood lake must be related to the crimson water body. Common crops and most common plants cannot grow on the water-nourished land of the blood lake. Magical plants with wonderful effects, these plants have a larger body size, and the leaves are darker in color. Usually have high medicinal or magic material value. The Church claims that these properties are the result of being blessed by the Goddess. But the higher the benefits, the higher the risks. The strange plant system around the blood lake also breeds a large number of strange creatures that cannot be seen in the outside world. Most of these creatures are ferocious and powerful, have a strong sense of territory, and almost all of them have innate magic power—even the grass-eating rabbits are like this. Many people would venture around the Blood Lake to collect materials, but few dared to venture into the hinterland alone, because they couldn't beat rabbits... well, they couldn't beat Warcraft.
However, these legends and stories can only be heard to Hao Ren. He doesn't care if the goddess' death has nothing to do with him, because he knows the real goddess, and knows that even if human beings become gods on their own, they are too lazy to go down to earth. Guan Guan's off-line elder sister, what he cares about is the disappearance of the holy temple orb that happened not long ago.
"Hui Yao Sect" took root in the world's oldest big country, the Kingdom of Holleta, and was established almost at the same time as the kingdom. It was the state religion of Holleta before its teachings spread to the whole world, and the Orb of the Temple was The first pope of the church and the first king of Holletta got it from a "sacred place". It is said that it represents the last trace of the goddess' trust in the world, and it is naturally a treasure shared by the kingdom and the church. According to the church, the goddess understands the development trajectory of the world after the extinction of the world through the orb of the temple, and detects whether the evil in this world has sprouted again. Therefore, the church and the royal family conduct a ritual "goddess inspection" every year. Under strict guards, we set off from Stuin, the royal city in the east of the kingdom, passing through four sanctuaries and four ruins in the kingdom along the way, and the final destination is the Beinz Blood Lake, which is the place where the legendary flame of annihilation first burned. . People in this world believe that by using this method, they can express their determination to change their past mistakes to the gods.
Orb will stay in the Blood Lake of Beinz for four days, and finally return to the royal city along the same road. After that, the pope will announce that the goddess has understood what happened on the earth in the past year, and recognizes the repentance of human beings, and the following will be held A grand celebration.
This is the grandest celebration of the Kingdom of Holleta, an unprecedented event every year, even bigger than the king's birthday celebration and the founding ceremony, and it will even attract congratulations from all countries in the world, including those who have relations with the kingdom Not a good country—because the Glory Sect is a world-recognized holy religion, although the Orb Tour is held in Holleta, it can be called a world-class event.
But this time the orb was lost.
According to the rules, it was placed in an old church on a small island in the center of the Blood Lake in Beinz during the four days of its stay. It was surrounded by church knights and kingdom knights, and there were layers of defensive circles, responsible for escorting in the final stage. The Viscount Brock of the mission is a well-known brave knight in the kingdom, and also a pious paladin conferred by the church. He is impeccable in both strength and character, but after only the first night, the orb disappeared.
It is said that all the knights heard a thunderous roar from the depths of the blood lake that night. The roar lasted for a full ten minutes, and the camp was shaken. Then, a strange light appeared under the water near the small island in the center of the lake, flickering There was an indeterminate radiance as if something was blazing beneath the water, and the knights stationed on the island reported feeling a strong earthquake, but the camp on the shore of the lake did not feel the tremor. When Viscount Brock was being investigated, he said that he saw a large number of bubbles floating up from the bottom of the lake, and at the same time smelled a smell like burning sulfur—these commotions were finally quieted down by a strong flash that penetrated the sky and the earth, and he felt uneasy Under the authorization of the accompanying bishop, the knights risked breaking the rules and opened the door of the chapel, only to find that everything inside was gone.
Including all the tables, chairs, furniture, a layer of wall coverings and part of the ceiling, four ascetic monks who needed to pray for four days in the church without eating or drinking, and the orb of the temple, everything was gone.
Hao Ren felt that this really looked like a large-scale opening of the space door—especially the light. )
