Virtual World: The Legendary Thief

Faced with such contempt for middle-aged soldiers. Lu Xuehan had a good temper and just smiled slightly. In the words of Murong Shanshan. It might explode.

I go forward. Ask the old pastor: "Teacher. May I ask what happened here. We saw someone killed on a stake on the road outside the town. What happened?"

The old pastor was stunned. Sadly said: "Della did not escape the fate of being killed. I told that child a long time ago. Undead creatures are inhumane. How can escape and surrender have good results."

The middle-aged soldier spat. Said: "Della ran away. It is not wrong to die. Teacher. What should we do next? The two adventurers you trust are already here. Open the town gate. Lead the villagers back to Silvermoon City to ask for reinforcements. "

The old pastor shook his head: "The regular army of Silvermoon City has already resisted the undead invasion at the fortress. They can't help us with the small group of undead here. We can only rely on some mercenaries and adventurers to eradicate them. So. Even if we send letters to Silvermoon They can only hang this task on a cheap bounty card. It is of no use to us. All I want now is to send these townspeople to a safe place."

Lu Xuehan smiled and said to me: "Our station is a very safe place. No undead dare to go there. If there are any undead in the station, they will definitely be killed by so many players immediately."

I laughed. The old pastor next to him, however, had his eyes lit up. Ask: "Can you really provide shelter for these townspeople?"

Lu Xuehan nodded and said, "Of course. But..."

The old pastor was overjoyed. Busy said: "It doesn't matter. Each of these townspeople has mastered certain skills. I believe that they will each play their own role in your residence."

"Ding~."

The long-lost mission reminder is here.

System prompt: whether to accept the commission from the old pastor.

After another "ding". The task content is out: protect the townspeople of Yongye Town to reach your guild's residence safely. Mission rewards are reduced by 5% for each townsman killed. When more than half of the townspeople are dead. mission failed. Deduct 5000 reputation points. The task time limit is 300 minutes.

Lu Xuehan looked at me in surprise. Said: "If the task fails, 5000 reputation points will be deducted. I have never seen such a task."

I smiled and said, "Of course. You killed so many people. It's not bad if you don't lose your reputation."

At this time, the old pastor urged: "Do you want us to start now. These dirty ghouls outside the town can't stop our way forward."

I glanced at the townspeople. Check the goods first. Their names also show their occupations: "Senior Blacksmith Hans", "Senior Pharmacist Difu", "Senior Tailor Shalu", "Senior Armor Maker Kailin" and so on. Almost all good support NPCs. And the level of auxiliary skills is not low.

I was overjoyed immediately. Said to the little MM next to him: "Xuehan. Our guild has developed now. If these NPCs can reach the guild station smoothly, then we can save a lot of money. Just a senior pharmacist from the system It takes several million to buy there. There are at least five senior pharmacists here."

Lu Xuehan chuckled: "So, we must complete this task."

I glanced at the task level. legendary level. Immediately I felt a little uncertain. It stands to reason. If the reward is so generous, it is enough to be at the legendary level. But along the way. The only thing that seems to get in our way is the horde of ghouls outside the town. Very bluntly said. Their strength is simply not enough to reach the legendary level.

Could it be. There will be other blocking forces in the way.

forget about it. Let's talk.

I opened the little door. Said, "I'm going to clean up these ghouls. After they're all gone. You come out."

The middle-aged soldier immediately asked in surprise: "Can you alone resist these ghouls with sharp claws?"

"Haha~~" I laughed dryly and didn't answer.

And my appearance is undoubtedly an extra piece of fresh meat for the ghouls outside. So they came rushing in. The sharp claws and teeth quickly bit down. My orange armor has just been repaired. Durability is also full. There is no need to worry. And the attack of these ghouls is as high as 2500. But it couldn't really break through my defenses. The highest attack value is less than 100 points of damage.

Behind me, Lu Xuehan also started to release the fire group method. Although the attack is not as powerful as Xu Lin. But it also made those ghouls miserable. Ghouls that linger in the sea of ​​fire for up to two minutes will also die.

My attack is powerful enough to kill these 100-level advanced ghouls in three or five hits. And the Xuanbing Sword that bursts out from time to time can wipe out a large number of ghouls that have been burned to half their blood like the baptism of war. The activation probability of the level 10 Xuanbing Sword is greatly increased. The superficial data is 27%. After receiving the RP bonus, it can reach about 10%. Basically every ten attacks can bring out a Xuanbing Sword. This also greatly increases our speed of killing monsters.

nearly two hours. The mouth of the middle-aged soldier behind him directly turned into an O shape. He probably never imagined that there would be human beings who could withstand the frenzied bites of the ghouls without shields. And obviously. The young adventurer before him was largely immune to the ghoul's physical attacks. And killing the ghouls is also very clean and neat.

When the Sword of Warsong chopped down the last ghoul from top to bottom. I turned around and said, "Okay. Everyone can go."

The task time is only 300 minutes. If these townspeople cannot be delivered to the Lost Paradise station within these five hours. We'll still get nothing. And the journey from here to Paradise Lost is almost an hour. We've spent two hours just now. That is to say, if you encounter enemies on the road again. We only have two hours to procrastinate.

The middle-aged soldier carefully stretched out his head to look at the situation outside. This opened the gates of the town completely. Turning around, he said to many townspeople: "The soldiers from Silvermoon City have opened the passage to the source of life for us. Everyone hurry up and pack your simple luggage. We are going on the road."

Immediately started to get busy. Almost every townsman ran into his dilapidated house. When they come out, they carry large and small objects. When I saw this situation, I became anxious. He hurried up to grab the blacksmith's hand. Question: "Uncle, can you carry such a big smelting furnace? Throw it away. I will ask someone to build another one for you when we arrive at the station."

The blacksmith immediately rolled his eyes and said, "This stove is a treasure passed down from generation to generation by my ancestors. It is also the symbol of my iron family. How can you just throw it away?"

Depend on. Still an heirloom.

I immediately identified it. It was found that this stove can indeed increase the equipment building effect and success rate by 25%. never mind. Just keep it. This thing is a rare treasure. Maybe in the future, the equipment manufacturing business of the Lost Paradise resident will become famous all over the world in one fell swoop.

Beside him was another old man dragging a pile of planks. Another young man was helping. I hurriedly asked again: "Old man, what are you doing dragging this wooden board?"

The old man said leisurely: "Young man. You don't understand this. My old man is used to sleeping on this pear wood plank bed. If I change it, I won't be able to sleep well."

I just felt a buzzing in my head. The reason why this task is legendary. Probably this is the reason. This group of people look like they are dragging their families. Let alone two hours. I'm afraid that even if it takes four hours, it may not be possible to arrive at the station of the Lost Paradise.

Look at me like I'm about to hit a wall. Lu Xuehan couldn't help smiling and said: "How about. Let's negotiate with them. Can we give up something."

I nod. Go over to the old pastor and say: "Teacher, look. If we are in the current situation, we will not be able to go fast. The thing is being chased by those nasty ghouls. Everyone has to finish the game. You should help convince the townspeople. I promise .After arriving at the station, they must be given a brand new living environment. Those tools will also be rationed for them.”

The old pastor dubiously said: "You...can you really provide them with everything they need for their work?"

I said, "Of course. How can I convince you?"

The old pastor thought about it for a while. Said: "Well. You can give them some gold coins first. Then they will be at ease. And they won't carry those extra things."

"Damn. Is it the settlement fee?"

Lu Xuehan smiled lightly and said, "Wow. There's actually a demolition fee. Do NPCs even have to be top performers these days?"

I am a little embarrassed. Said: "That... Xuehan. I'm short on money recently. I don't have any gold coins. Do you have any?"

Lu Xuehan blinked her eyes. He smiled and asked, "How much do you want?"

I went back and counted the number of NPCs. A total of 100 or so. So he said: "Each person distributes 100 gold coins. In this case, 10,000 gold coins are needed. Do you have any?"

Lu Xuehan smiled and said, "No, originally. But last time Sister Lin and Xin Yu practiced with me. All the gold coins I got were given to me. Yes. Now I have more than 30,000 coins. I will give you 20,000."

I hurriedly said, "No. Just give me 15,000. You can buy the blue potion yourself and spend the money. Besides, after completing this task, there will definitely be gold coins as a reward. I will have money by then~"

Lu Xuehan didn't say much. The direct trade gave me 15,000 gold coins. I walked up to the old pastor. Say: "Distribute 100 gold coins to each person. Is that okay?"

The old pastor said in surprise: "So much. Enough is enough~~"

I just remembered. In the background of this setting. Generally, what the common people circulate are copper coins or silver coins. As for gold coins, they should be regarded as high-end goods. 100 gold coins. Enough for a civilian family to live for N years.

But now that the words have been spoken. It's not easy to take it back. So more than 10,000 gold coins in my package were quickly deducted by the system. Those townspeople who got the money also only brought simple items that they could carry with them. But that blacksmith is more rogue. He still refused to put the furnace down after taking the money. In the end, the middle-aged soldier had to carry the stove on his back. He was still young and strong. It's not too slow to walk with such a thing on your back.

So a group of people filed out from the town gate. Two players, four combat NPCs plus more than 100 NPC civilians. It can be considered mighty. Layers of ghoul corpses overlapped on the ground outside the town. Bloody. Some severed limbs twitched occasionally. The children in the town were so frightened that they cried loudly.

Pass the stone fence there. Broken clothes and silver armor that had been cut in half were scattered all over the place. It's a relic of the soldier who died protecting us. Everyone stopped. The old pastor held up his armor and burst into tears. After praying for a few minutes. He bade everyone move on.

Not long after. An open field appeared on the side of the road. Shocking wooden piles are still erected there. The corpses on the stakes had begun to emit a rotten smell. The old pastor frowned. Said: "Della's crime is unforgivable. But we can't let his body be exposed to the holy sunshine like this."

The middle-aged soldier nodded and said, "Teacher, send Della back to the land."

The old pastor nodded and said nothing. About half a minute passed. A scorching fireball began to condense in his hand. Condensation is getting bigger and bigger. Townspeople who end up getting too close must back away. Seeing that the fireball has taken shape. The old priest groaned. The fireball flew away. Hit the top of the stake with a bang. It burned violently like a petrol bomb that exploded. Make a "crackling ~" sound.

In a blink of an eye. Half of the stake was reduced to ashes with the body. Blown by the wind. All scattered into powder. Falling in the dirt of the field. It can be regarded as ashes to ashes, ashes to ashes.

The old pastor prayed silently again. This ordered everyone to move on. I was in a hurry. If you delay like this any longer. I'm afraid the day lily will be cold when we arrive at the station.

Seems to see my concerns. The old pastor smiled. Loudly said: "Everyone, speed up. The damn undead don't know when they will come. They are not just as simple as ghouls."

The middle-aged soldier was surprised: "Teacher, besides ghouls, are there any other species of undead?"

The old pastor nodded. He said with a dignified look: "Ghouls are the same as skeleton warriors. They are just the lowest-level unit in the undead army. The erosive power of the undead's will is far more than that. Crypt demons hidden underground, evil necromancers. There are also beautiful voices, Undead banshees with tight stature. They used to be beautiful elves. After being reduced to servants of the undead, these banshees have a more powerful ability to seduce. Once human fighters get lost in the tenderness of the banshees, they will be occupied. Lost Everything, body and soul."

The middle-aged soldier couldn't help but wonder: "Is the banshee so powerful? I've heard it before. The Bright Knight of Silvermoon City once killed 4 high-level banshees by himself..."

The old pastor couldn't help laughing and said: "The light knight is blessed by the magister's light magic. Naturally, he is not afraid of the banshee's temptation. We are not. People with weak resistance ability may lose their minds after seeing the banshee."

I thought to myself. So it seems. Banshee should be on the same level as Murong Shanshan and Lu Xuehan. They all belong to the type that makes people unable to move at a glance. The difference is that Murong Shanshan and Lu Xuehan relied on their beautiful appearance. And the Banshee. Then it is only possible to use the chest and buttocks to display the coquettish and seductive skills.

The old pastor sighed again: "The power of the undead hidden in the darkness. No one knows how much power they have yet to show. Their goal is to destroy everything. It is really terrible."

He just finished. A pathfinder soldier ran over in front of him, rolling and crawling. Frightened. Point to the forest on the right. Panting heavily, he said, "Teacher. A large number of undead troops appeared there."

The old pastor was surprised: "Is it a ghoul?"

The soldier shook his head: "It's not a ghoul. It's a creature that crawls slowly on the ground. It's like a large spider. And. There are many dark shadows in the air. My eyesight can't identify them. But. They move very fast .It will reach us in a few minutes."

The old pastor was shocked. He looked back at the townspeople behind him. At this time, it has fallen into a dilemma. If you move forward, you may collide head-on with the army of undead. If you retreat. It could be worse. No one knows what those flying things in the sky are. But it must be fast. This group of unarmed townspeople is sure to be doomed.

I also hesitated when I saw the pastor, the leader. Can't help being a little annoyed. anyway. If you don't make a decision now. Just sit and wait.

So I immediately drew the sword of Warsong. Go to the front and say: "I'm going to attract the attention of the undead army. You go around through the woods. But pay attention to this wood. There is a large group of barbed porcupines living in it."

The old pastor looked at the dense forest nearby. I had no choice but to nod. Said, "Be careful, then. We're going through the woods. We'll be waiting for you at the station."

finished. The old pastor organized his hands to quickly cut down the thorns on the roadside. Straight through the woods.

I look forward. Say to Lu Xuehan: "Xuehan. You follow the townspeople. Protect their safety along the way and make sure not to let any NPC hang up."

But Lu Xuehan shook her head and said, "No. I want to follow you. Otherwise, you will be bitten to death by ghouls."

I was speechless for a while but also with a trace of relief. So he quickly summoned the red leaves that hadn't been used for a long time. She was dressed in green priestly robes. As soon as he was summoned, he said with a smile: "Brother, you are finally willing to let the red leaves come out to breathe."

I don't have time to tease her. Directly ordered: "Hongye. You retreat with those townspeople. Be sure to be safe."

Hongye looked at the situation. Nod immediately. Then he quickly followed the old pastor.

Looking at the figure of Hongye. I couldn't help playing with taste: "Xuehan, Hongye is much more obedient than you."

Lu Xuehan smiled slightly. Said: "Hongye is Hongye. I am me... ah."

suddenly. Lu Xuehan looked behind me and was stunned.
