Sword and Magic and Clear Flow

Chapter 29

Never seen this NPC before when doing this quest.Sean raised his eyebrows and glanced at him, but didn't answer.

The man in the cloak was well aware that these outsiders were used to looking for new "adventures" every moment, and he said, "Did the warriors pass by here? They've all come here. Do you want to find an easy and worry-free job to make some money?" ?” He looked at the only girl in the group with veiled eyes, “I have a job here, and I need some brave adventurers like this... Of course, the price is negotiable.”

Sean noticed this detail. Obviously the main target of the cloaked NPC is Huangsang Youxi, perhaps this is a brand new entry point.

"Tell me," he said with a look of interest, "what kind of work?"

The man in the cloak smiled, and pointed to a bar deep in the dark alley: "This is not a place to talk, everyone, please follow me."

The priest behind him continued to give an impassioned speech, and a group of eight people followed the cloaked man away from the street corner and walked into the same dirty bar.

The man in the cloak: "Don't be vigilant, warriors... This job is very simple. Lord Baron Calent has ordered some goods from me. Just help me deliver them to the manor in the outskirts. Someone will pick them up there. I can go there myself. But you see, this small shop is still in business, so it can’t be left alone.”

Tianyuan Chicken Hamburger thought that there was no need to be vigilant. From this person to this store, it was full of suspicious factors, so he couldn't help arguing with him: "Then you go and deliver it, and we will help you look at the store."

Cloaked man: "..."

Everyone: "..." Look, the NPC is choking, why don't you follow the routine, you have to be skinny.

The man in the cloak: "That... this batch of herbs is so large, there are several carts, I can't transport them all by myself."

Hamburg: "How many cars are there?"

This time the man in the cloak learned to be smart, and he glanced at the crowd and replied, "Eight cars."

There were just eight of them, and it was obvious that they had to go, but the burgers still didn't have enough skin.

Hamburg: "But I don't have the strength to pull the car. You should go, I'll look after the shop for you."

The man in the cloak was silent for a while, then said cruelly: "There is a horse-drawn cart, so you don't need to work hard. I will give each of you 1 gold coin."

Hamburg; "Is that why you don't want to go? I don't want gold coins, I will help you look around the store for free."

The man in the cloak: "...then you don't go, you can also transport seven carts."

Hamburg: "I suddenly want to go again. I haven't seen what the baron's manor looks like. How about it, Huangsang, you stay, and I will go for you."

The man in the cloak became anxious all of a sudden: "No! This girl has to go!"

Immediately everyone stared at him, the man in the cloak clenched his neckline, and dryly remedied: "I mean, think about it carefully, seven carts are not enough... I will give you 3 gold coins each, and you can transport eight carts."

Sean gave Hamburg a "good job" appreciative look, and the swordsman was immediately elated.

Gu Qinghe silently updated his evaluation of the pastoral chicken leg burger, adding another sentence, it is all a bad habit of Sean, but it can be used under special circumstances.

Everyone guessed that this was not a serious task, because the system did not refresh the prompt at all.But it's still a good way to sneak into Calent Manor. Except for Sean of lv.59 and Gu Qinghe of lv.30, they are all at full level, and all of them are bold and brave, and dare to break into any dragon's den or tiger's lair.

The cloaked man quickly had eight wagons ready.Sean lifted a corner of the oilcloth to check. Inside were soothing potions, antiseptic potions, all kinds of herbs, and a lot of spices - litsea cubeba, cloves, cinnamon, cardamom... They were all common, and he picked them one by one. Check it out, there's really nothing dangerous about it.

Sean nodded and said, "No problem, I promise to deliver it to you, let's settle the payment first."

"This... I'll give it to you when you come back." The man in the cloak looked reluctant: "Who knows if you will run away after taking the goods..."

Hamburg is still the same sentence: "Then you deliver it yourself, and we will help you look at the store."

The man in the cloak gritted his teeth angrily, took out 24 gold coins and patted them on Burger's hand: "...Okay, here you are. Hurry up, don't keep the baron waiting!" After finishing speaking, he retreated into the small bar without looking back, There was also the sound of the latch being knocked from inside.

Su Geyin looked surprised: "Why is the door locked? Didn't he say that he wants to see the store for business?"

Sean: "...don't worry about it, let's go."

They drove horses in a carriage, and eight carriages lined up to the baron's manor on the outskirts of the town.When passing the corner of the street, the priest who gave the speech cast a scrutinizing gaze, and along the way, you can feel the gazes of the NPC townspeople hiding behind the doors and windows looking out through the cracks of the windows, which is uncomfortable.

The whole of Jiquiriti was lifeless, and a faint gray smog appeared in the outskirts. The outline of the Calent Manor was indistinct, and the sound of rolling wheels was the only movement in the outskirts.

After approaching the periphery of the manor, I saw a respondent.This NPC was wearing rough servant clothes, but his hands were wearing more delicate gentleman's gloves. The hat was too big, directly blocking his eyes. I don't know how he looked at the road. He opened the back door of the manor and led the carriage to the warehouse. There were also a few servants in similar costumes, who helped unload the goods with all their might, and carefully stored a cart of soothing medicine in glass test tubes separately.

Servant NPC: "This batch of goods is exactly what our lord urgently needs. The baron has prepared a banquet for you all to pay your respects. Please come with me."

Everyone thought to themselves, here comes the drama.They followed the NPC in a formation that vaguely surrounded Huangsang in the middle, and entered the manor building through the back door. It was clearly daytime outside, but it was like night after entering the door.Two rows of magic lamps were lit in the spacious corridor, but it was still dark and damp, and it was obvious that the road was sloping downward.

At the end is a gorgeous double-opening embossed door. On the door, there are angel babies with white wings on their backs and playing various musical instruments. They are innocent, lovely, and lifelike. It is very strange to see them in a blood manor.

The servant pushed open the door, and inside was a resplendent dining room. The long dining table was filled with steaming, mouth-watering delicacies, as well as silver and white candlesticks and bright red rose vases as decorations.There are no more and no less on both sides of the dining table, with eight chairs placed.

"Warriors, please enjoy the banquet to your heart's content." The servants also politely pulled out the chairs and invited them to sit down.

No matter how stupid Su Gein was, he couldn't see that something was wrong.He quietly asked Sean: "Is this the legendary Hongmen Banquet?"

You know a lot, Xiao En nodded, and said in the team channel: "This group of people has a problem, let's fight directly." After saying that, the polar bear and the colorful tiger were released.

The hunter recruits a battle pet to occupy 40% of the current total mana, and summons a magic creature to occupy 50%. No matter how you calculate it, two per battle is the upper limit, and you have to reserve a little mana for yourself.

A polar bear in a top hat and black vest pounced on the nearest NPC, sounding the battle signal.The muscles of these servant NPCs swelled, their bodies covered with black veins tore apart their clothes, revealing scarlet bulging eyes, and their long black nails directly scratched through their gloves.Their strength is so great that they can smash the hard solid wood chair back with one blow.

Wu Shuanghe is used to cooperating with his master, summoning the elf of the unearthed elements, and putting a strong shield on the two beasts, so that they can kill all directions without any scruples.Together with Suge Kain and the three of them guarding Huangsang in the middle, they unanimously shot concussion arrows outward, stunning the three targets immediately.

Yu Tanghai's assassin skills are perfect. All his points are aimed at allowing Su Gekai to mob monsters more effectively. The instant Iron Claw has almost no skill cooldown after leveling up to five levels, pulling all the peripheral NPCs. They made a pile in the middle; Su Geyin cast the ranger control skill Thorn Cage at the right time, stopped five of them in one breath, and threw a gas bomb into the monster pile, eating all the monsters held by the monster except the polar bear and the tiger A wave of gas damage.

Xiao En glanced at the battle panel, this wave of damage only wiped out a layer of skin: "They are resistant to poison! Huang Sang uses group attack skills, and the archers continue to control monsters, even in melee combat."

Huangsang Youxila was originally a pure priest of light. After reaching the full level, he washed his skill points once and chose a few skills of the judge of light as support.Hearing this, he immediately fired a rain of holy light arrows and a rotating light wheel at the pile of monsters, and the light skills really had a damage bonus.Su Gekai threw out another thorn cage, and then attacked with infinite splitting arrows; Xiao En and Wu Shuanghe immediately fired shocking arrows to stun the fish that slipped through the net.

Different from the high-level NPC in the Temple of Light, the player's judge skill is not as strong as the 360-degree group attack. When the level is full, the casting range of the Holy Light Arrow Rain is 120 degrees in front of the staff as the starting point, and the rotation of the light wheel is the most 7, the direction is random, the damage will decrease with the increase of the distance, the limit distance is 10 meters, only the basic skill Holy Light Arrow is 50 meters.

In a sense, Judgment of Light is different from animal husbandry and magic with a distance of 50 meters, and hunting and hunting with a distance of 70 meters. You can protect yourself after adding the skills of judges.Now the distance of 10 meters in the indoor battlefield is enough. With two pastoral swordsmen, the blood line of the minions will be quickly suppressed.

Gu Qinghe, who chose the Holy Gun Knight profession, was inconvenient to ride a horse in the restaurant, so he directly attacked with a spear/spear. Although the level of the monster was 20 levels different from the monster, it caused little damage, but it had its own strong fighting skills and basic dodge actions. Like a god, these monsters can't do anything to him.

The battle ended quickly, and these servant NPCs, who could no longer be called human, fell to the ground. The pitch-black sticky blood mixed with broken and messy tables and chairs, and poisonous food residues gave off a stench.

The restaurant's door was locked from the outside, and several people pushed it together several times, but it still didn't move.

The pastoral fabric sofa pointed to the inconspicuous little door that the servant came in and out of when delivering meals: "Go there and have a look." Several people filed in and found that this was a kitchen, and there were two young maids hugging each other in the corner. Trembling, snot and tears all over his face.

"We don't know anything," cried one of the flaxen-haired, freckle-faced young girls. "The baron's butler hired us to work in the kitchen, and we really don't know anything..."

Sean asked lightly: "Have you poisoned the dishes?"

"No! We don't!" Another red-haired girl also cried and denied, "We only cook in the back kitchen, and those people...they serve it out."

Lu Qinghe whispered to Xiao En, "They didn't lie."

Sean nodded, and asked again: "Are there any other entrances and exits besides the gate?"

The two maids looked blank: "I don't know...we also came in through that gate."

Xiao En and Gu Qinghe glanced at each other, feeling confident.Judging from the terrain along the way, this place should have been a dungeon, and it was indeed unlikely that there would be another exit. They could of course leave with a teleportation scroll, but they just had to wait patiently, and someone would come to "check the results".

The two NPCs couldn't just be left like this, Gu Qinghe used local materials to tie them up with hemp rope just in case, and also gathered all the knives in the kitchen together and locked them up.Then they picked up pokers and some handy irons and distributed them, and the group returned to the gate.

After a while, there was movement outside: "How is the lunch preparation?"

Gu Qinghe imitated the tone of the servant NPC, and replied inside the door: "It's all done."

As soon as the words fell, the door opened from the outside, and he quickly stuck the poker into the side gap to prevent it from closing again.

An NPC dressed as a butler came in. His forehead and the top of his head were already bald, and the only remaining gray hair was a tangled mess, and he didn't wear a wig. It looks like he hasn't taken care of himself for a long time. Behind him are two soldier NPCs in chain mail and helmets, each pushing a flat-bed cart with two empty Large wooden barrels, one clean and the other stained.

As soon as the butler entered the door, he saw the chaos in the restaurant after a fierce fight, and it was too late to turn around.Hamburg was hit head-on. What was surprising was that the butler was as weak as he looked, and flew upside down a few meters before falling unconscious in the cold corridor.

The two soldiers, like the servant NPC, are red-eyed and black-clawed monsters. They don't use swords, and directly wave their sharp long nails and charge at the crowd. The polar bear and the tiger pounce on the two monsters, and cooperate with Huangsang's bright skills to knock down the enemy from a distance. up.

Sean kicked off the helmet, and found that the two soldiers were more completely "demonized", their lips were rotten, and their jagged fangs were exposed.

The sofa kicked the butler who fell to the ground and pretended to be dead: "Get up, stop pretending."

Only then did the steward get up, trembling with fear: "All warriors, please spare my life. I am a human being, and I am different from these monsters... I was forced!"

Sean asked, "Who ordered you?"

The steward replied: "It's the baron, it's him..."

Lu Qinghe interrupted in a low voice: "You are lying."

Sean, who knew the plot, knew that Baron Callant should have died by this time—or he should have been gone a year ago.

But Captain Gu, who can judge lies based on the micro-expressions of NPCs, is really handsome... He cast a shining gaze of admiration on his benefactor, and Gu Qinghe hurriedly avoided his gaze and lowered his head to stare at the ground.

The housekeeper denied it for a while, "I'm not, I didn't", and gradually calmed down, and changed his words: "The baron is dead, these monsters rushed in...I don't know anything! You took me to the city guard Well, I am willing to accept the trial..."

Upon receiving the news of the death of Baron Calent, the system panel was instantly refreshed, and the task "Orders from Prince Stabelle" was completed.
