Lord of War

Sa Luoqi looked at Sean's gaze, full of curiosity.

She could feel the man's dismissive attitude towards her, but at the same time, she could also feel that the black-haired human in front of her obviously became hesitant after the guard in her tribe made the request.

So Sa Luoqi is very curious, what is the reason for this young human to change his mind?

At this moment, Sean frowned tightly, because a mission option was emerging in front of him.

[Task Name: Escort]

[Task type: Time-limited task]

[Task requirements: Please escort Saluoqi Xuefeng to the designated location within three days and ensure its safety. 】

[Task Reward: Savage Land - Xuefeng Tribe reputation value +500, proficiency point +2, because the experience value has reached the limit of the current level, so an additional proficiency point +1 will be obtained. 】

[Mission failed: Savage Land - Xuefeng Tribe Reputation Point -3000, this tribe will always regard you as an enemy. 】

[Mission penalty: The prestige value of the Wildlands - Breaking Wind Tribe - 1000, all tribes that are allied with the Wildlands - Breaking Wind Tribe will regard you as an enemy. This penalty does not include other areas, but in some special cases, this penalty will cause the evolution of subsequent mechanisms and become a revised reference value. 】

[Please note that once you accept the mission, the mission penalty will take effect immediately. 】

A timed mission!

Time-limited tasks, also known as random tasks, are a relatively rare type of task in games.

How rare is it?

Like Sean, he also took several legendary or epic missions in the game. Although there are occasional unfinished records, he can be regarded as someone who has seen the world. But since he entered the game until today, this is the first time he has seen a mission like "Limited Time Mission" appear, and it's not in the game yet. But in this bizarre real world.

Time-limited missions were originally introduced in the game as a feature system.

It has a relatively high degree of freedom of triggering.

For example, if you find a person who is about to starve to death, then if he asks you for help at this time, it is very likely that you will trigger a time-limited task.

The requirement of the task is naturally to give him food so that he will not starve to death, but because of the high degree of freedom. So if you simply give him food without telling him to eat slowly or without giving him water, then he is likely to starve or choke to death.

In this way, your mission is naturally a failure.

And once the time-limited task fails, the punishment mechanism that needs to be faced is a bit of a headache.

Take the choice Sean is facing at this moment as an example. Once the mission fails, not only will he not be able to get the mission reward. Even having to fight against the Xuefeng tribe and the Pofeng tribe at the same time, this is really not worth the loss for Xiao En, because what he wants is to fish in troubled waters between these two tribes and squeeze the benefits as much as possible. If he fights against these two tribes at the same time, then Sean will have no interest at all.

This is why he is frowning now. There are reasons for hesitation and entanglement.

After all, based on his understanding of the game's mission system, he can be 100% sure that the time-limited mission will definitely have new directed missions, which means that the time-limited mission is a randomly generated mission chain. And none of the series of tasks that involve the task chain is simple, even if it looks simple on the surface, it will actually make the person doing the task feel tired.

Sean's eyes were fixed on the five words "Ensure its safety" written at the end of the task request.

According to the urine nature of the game system, then the people of the Pofeng Tribe will definitely not let it go. They will definitely find ways to continue chasing down or assassinating the princess of the Xuefeng tribe. So once he accepts this task, Sean must maintain a high degree of attention and vigilance for the next three days, otherwise, once Princess Saluoqi Snow Wind dies, Sean will really want to cry No more tears.

If it is a game, he can also use some small means of bugs.

For example, a single person takes over the task, and then uses the advantages of the guild players to fight against the people of the Pofeng tribe, in this way to forcibly suppress and reduce the difficulty of the task. But in reality, this kind of approach is obviously absolutely impossible, because the enemy is not a fool, once they find out that Saluoqi Snow Wind Princess of the Xuefeng Tribe is protected by layers of protection. Then they will definitely change their tactics, or they may spread rumors in the Kingdom of Ryan, spreading the relationship between Sean and the wild land.

Although it is said that Sean is indeed connected with the wild land, and has even begun to cultivate his power and foundation in the wild land, how can he say these things? Don't say you announced it yourself. Even if someone spreads rumors, it won't work, because Sean is at odds with the Pancontinental Chamber of Commerce Alliance because of the matter in the wild land, and now it has even completely and completely affected the relationship between the Kingdom of Ryan and the Chamber of Commerce Alliance. Therefore, the Kingdom of Ryan must keep Sean no matter what it says for the time being.

But if you spread the ulterior secrets about him and the barren land at this time.

Regardless of whether it was true or not, the nobles in the Ryan Kingdom would never let go of this opportunity to use and attack Xiao En. Even if the Chamber of Commerce Alliance intervenes forcefully at this time, even the Royal Family of Ryan will definitely not be able to protect people, because the resentment of the nobles is too great, and the territory occupied by Sean is too big now, big enough to Make anyone jealous.

Therefore, once someone spreads the relationship between Sean and the wild land, judging from the current situation that Sean has not yet established a firm foothold, this is an extremely unfavorable thing.

After all, in this world, strength is what matters no matter what.

And once the strength is strong enough, often many things are well known, but as long as there is a fig leaf blocking it, no one will ever tear it apart.

Xiao En looked at the elf guard who had only one breath left in front of him. He knew that the reason why he still hadn't swallowed this breath was because he was now entering a situation similar to accepting a task or in a special situation. Invincible time, so this breath was suspended. Once Xiao En refuses or agrees, the guard will definitely die on the spot. Of course, even if he didn't agree, there would be a time to think about it—as the saying goes, it was a task countdown, after which the elf guard would still die.

In the bushes, there was a sudden, sparse sound.

Saluoqi turned her head a little startled, but the elf defender beside her immediately turned around and protected Saluoqi behind her. The agility is nothing like a defender who uses heavy equipment.

Seeing the guarded expressions of these two people, Xiao En knew that these two people were really frightened now.

However, his expression did not change at all, because he knew who was coming when he heard footsteps.

This is also one of the reasons why he struggled with whether to accept this task. After all, the people in the Pofeng tribe clearly knew his true strength, so if there is really a confrontation in the future. Then the other party will definitely make a move with enough confidence.

Even if it is a third-class tribe, the gold powerhouses will not be flooded anywhere, and they will definitely not be able to withstand the slaughter of Xiao En and others like pigs and sheep. So after knowing Xiao En's true details and strength, the people of the Pofeng Tribe will definitely not be so stupid anymore, but will start to use some tactics or conspiracy methods—believe that the wild land is fighting with After the long struggle in the human kingdom, the IQ of these guys has definitely improved significantly.

It was Cecilia who came.

Perhaps it was because of the pity of Princess Saluoqi. It may also be due to sympathy for the same disease, or because of other similar reasons.

In short, Sean knew that Cecilia was moved with compassion.

"Sean." Cecilia's voice was very soft, with a little bit of pitiful grievance, which made her already very touching voice extremely charming.

Of course, it is the kind of endearing charm.

Sean sighed helplessly, and turned to look at Cecilia.

It was a hazy and beautiful picture: Cecilia was still wearing a taupe adventurer's cloak. But the hood had been put down by her, and her blonde hair was pouring down like a waterfall of glory, and her face had an aggrieved look of sympathy. The sun shines through the gaps in the leaves, forming patches of light and falling on her body, and then the shadows from the leaves and the coldness spread like a carpet at her feet, the green that has not yet been stained red by blood On grass and blooming flowers. At this moment, Cecilia was like a boat in a storm, standing quietly and pitifully by the edge of the woods.

If it wasn't for the strong bloody smell around it, it would be fine. ——This is the first thought that popped up in Sean's heart when he saw Cecilia at this time.

"I see." Facing such Cecilia, how could Sean be so cruel as to refuse?

"I promise you." Sean turned his head to look at the dying elf guard, and then said in a deep voice, "I will send the princess of your family to the designated destination, don't worry."

Hear Sean's words. Princess Saluoqi Xuefeng stared at Xiao En with her eyes wide open for a moment, and there was obvious disbelief in her eyes. Then the next moment, she turned her head to look at the girl who walked out of the woods, and her eyes became curious again, because according to her understanding of the human kingdom. Women are just men's appendages, playthings, or vases for showing off and displaying. In any case, it will always be men who dominate.

But now, the young human male whose strength made her feel a little unfathomable changed his position in a word from the girl.

Sa Luoqi Xuefeng couldn't help thinking, could it be that the contents explained in the books about the human kingdom that he spent a lot of effort and even bought a lot of money were wrong? If this is the case, is it necessary for me to continue collecting these books? Or, in other words, this is actually a conspiracy of the human kingdom, in order to make oneself have a wrong understanding of the human kingdom, so as to do something that is likely to benefit the human kingdom?

As for the relationship between Cecilia and Sean, Saluoqi Xuefeng didn't think it was fake.

Because she has a mind more intelligent than humans.

After the guard saw Xiao En agreeing, he finally showed a satisfied smile on his face, and then said with the last of his strength: "Please...take Her Royal Highness...to...Vanilla Plain..."

After all, the fighting spirit that the guard had been using to maintain his injuries was finally completely drained. The wound that had been suppressed immediately deteriorated at an astonishing speed visible to the naked eye, and blood gushed out like a fountain in an underground river. However, the smell it emits is not a strong bloody smell, but an extremely unpleasant rancid stench, and there is even a burnt smell.

As for his heart, it had stopped beating a few minutes ago.

"Uncle Akadan!" Princess Saluoqi Xuefeng burst into tears when she saw the death of the guard.

Several times she wanted to jump over. But in the end it stopped.

It wasn't because of her reserve as a princess, but because she was also afraid that her weight would crush the corpse. Because at this moment, no one can see that the body of the highland elf guard of the Xuefeng tribe is decomposing at an alarming speed. This situation is obviously different from the normal death situation, because Xiao En can clearly see This did not happen to the corpses of other Xuefeng tribe guards.

So there are only two explanations for this situation.

The first is a certain kind of special toxin. The second is that the guard used some kind of special secret technique.

If it is the former, Sean will naturally be able to find out right away, after all, the detection using the system is still very authoritative in this respect; so Sean believes that this is the second case, and it is very likely that it belongs to Xue Feng. A special secret technique of the tribe. So of course he couldn't say anything. After all, he couldn't ask casually about this kind of secret technique. Of course, it would be a lie if he said he wasn't curious. After all, this was the second time he saw traces of the secret technique after coming to this world.

The first time was when he fought Yin in the wild land.

In the forest, only the voice of Princess Saluoqi weeping softly remained.

A little cold.

Also a little helpless.

It's just that this is reality.

...

"I need an explanation!" A middle-aged elf who was not young roared like a lion.

The elves are a group that grows rather slowly and has a relatively low fertility rate.

Compared with the situation that ordinary humans can only live to be seventy or eighty years old, this age is just adulthood for the elves. Under normal circumstances, elves can generally live to be about two hundred years old. At least one hundred seventeen or eighty years old can be lived. If it is an elf of the sanctuary level, the lifespan can even be extended to more than two hundred and thirty years old, but generally it will not exceed two hundred and fifty years old.

Longevity is also another racial characteristic of the elves.

But the world is fair.

Because of the longevity of the elves, the chances of this race's fertility are very low: many adult elves will not even be able to give birth to offspring throughout their lives. However, it is precisely because of this low fertility rate that the offspring born of the elves have relatively powerful innate abilities-of course, the premise is that these elf children can reach adulthood. After all, the growth period of elf children is as long as sixty years, and elf children are much weaker than humans before they reach maturity.

The middle-aged elf in front of him is only high-rank gold, so he must be close to one hundred and fifty years old at this moment.

In the world of elves, after the age of one hundred and fifty, both body and appearance will begin to age rapidly. Then the body and its own abilities will begin to decline rapidly. Therefore, the most powerful peak period of the elves is only in the 80 years from the age of 60 to 140, which is basically the same as that of humans.

It was an elf woman who was listed by the middle-aged elf man as the target of venting his anger.

If Sean was here, he'd be able to recognize it. This elf woman was the leader of the sword dancer of the Broken Wind Tribe that he was fighting against.

Staring at the middle-aged elf man in front of her, the elf woman had an obvious expression of disgust on her face, which made the middle-aged elf even more annoyed. But before he could continue speaking, the female elf had already spoken: "You and I are equals, so there is no relationship between us who directs the other, so I don't need to give you any explanation....Don't Forget, it is your duty to hunt down and kill Princess Saluoqi Xuefeng, and my duty is to protect Master Seramir, so I don't need to obey your orders."

"You!" The face of the middle-aged elf man flushed red, and the killing intent suddenly surged from his body.

"On the contrary, I think it should be you who need to give me an explanation." The female elf didn't care about the killing intent surging from the middle-aged elf, her voice was still cold and arrogant, "I dispatched twelve swordsmen to you. Dancer, but in the end you only let three survive? I think there was a major misconduct in your command. Especially in the final confrontation, I didn’t see you on the battlefield. May I ask where you were at that time? where?"

"Are you accusing me?" The aura of the middle-aged elf finally erupted completely. He took a step forward, and a sea of ​​killing intent and aura rushed towards the female elf. Weaker elves can even hear the howl of crying like a ghost.

The murderous aura of this middle-aged elf is so rich and thick!

But.

No matter how strong this killing intent was, the leader of the Elven Sword Dancer of the Pofeng Tribe didn't even frown.

Her face remained as calm as ever, and even the disdain remained the same from beginning to end: "Because of your misconduct and failure to show up at the scene, I lost nine silver sword dancers. Report to the Council of Elders."

"Hmph, what about you?" The middle-aged elf clenched his fists and roared angrily, "The two golden sword dancers who followed you died, so what happened?"

"That's because your intelligence was wrong. ... That black-haired human being is more threatening than you imagined. If you weren't there at the time, the princess of the Xuefeng Tribe would have died long ago, and our mission will not It's over. And now... we have to face the situation of requesting reinforcements, and the elders will finally judge like this, I believe you should know the end."

"you……"

Finally unable to hold back his anger, the middle-aged elf suddenly waved his hand at the sword dancer leader to kill him! (To be continued.
