Volume 19 Chapter 75 The Tongue that Comes to the Door

A group of people over there were discussing the newly posted mission, and the priest sister here joked with me: "I didn't expect you to be quite valuable."

I didn't care about the priest sister's joke, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, I still have some skills, otherwise wouldn't it be difficult to protect myself?"

Just as the priest sister was about to reply, another row of announcements suddenly appeared on the bulletin board opposite.

"Interception mission: It is required to set up an ambush at a designated time and place to intercept a small column of the Frost Rose Alliance for an hour. The total number of people in the team is as follows:..." Some people read the message after it was posted, while others were surprised. He shook his head looking at that message.

"Which idiot failed in this mission? Who dares to take on such a mission?" someone said.

Another person said: "But the rewards for this mission are also quite tempting. You can actually get an artifact sword and 10,000 crystal coins."

As soon as this person finished speaking, someone next to him said: "Stop dreaming. When you look at this mission, you will know that it is issued by the same organization as the one just now. The reward given here is higher than the one that intercepted the purple sun. This shows that this The team’s overall combat effectiveness may be higher than that of Ziri, so whoever is out of their mind to accept this mission will risk their own death?”

"Yes, yes! Sending such a mission is purely idiotic. Let's find some more practical missions to take on." As they said this, everyone stopped paying attention to the two missions with super high rewards and went to find some other missions. .

The priest mm and I stood in the middle of the hall for a while. During this period, people kept seeing suitable tasks and ran to the counter on the left to get the tasks. As long as the tasks were taken away, the bulletin board would immediately revoke the task. tasks, and then replace the removed tasks with new tasks. Judging from the speed at which they update this task, it seems that the number is quite large. To be honest, if someone told me that there was such a large-scale dark mission release point in China, I would never believe it. Although our guild's intelligence collection work has always been focused on foreign countries, we are the number one guild in the country after all, and our intelligence system is also top-notch. Such a large-scale black mission trading center can actually operate to its current scale without telling us. The operators here are very thorough in their confidentiality work.

"You two." We were observing the situation nearby, but several players took the initiative to come to us.

"Huh?" I looked at the group of people in confusion. There were five people on the other side, all standing in front of us. They didn't seem to be looking for trouble, but we didn't know each other, so I was very confused about what they meant.

Seeing our eyes turning back, the person who just spoke said, "Can you two do the task?"

"Fight the mission?"

Seeing the puzzled looks in my and the priest's sister's eyes, the other party immediately reacted. "Oh, so you two are newcomers? You haven't done any missions before, right?"

The priest mm nodded and said: "Well, we have indeed never fought. When you say fighting for a task, do you mean cooperation?"

"Yes, yes." As soon as the man heard that the priest mm had guessed it, the man immediately explained: "Task sharing is our jargon. It means similar to car sharing and table sharing. It means that everyone shares a task. Sometimes tasks are released The number of personnel needed is a bit too much, or the team taking over the task feels that it is a bit unrealistic to complete the task with its own strength, so it will find one or two foreign aids, which is to fight for the task."

I asked: "Do you want to challenge us for a mission?"

"Yes, we accepted a mission with a very good reward, but things are a bit difficult. I think the equipment of the two of you seems to be very good, and the strength should not be much worse. I wonder if you are interested in fighting with us. Task?"

They think our equipment is pretty good, but what they actually see is an illusion on us. The illusion that Amynis put on the two of us is in the shape of two sets of mid-to-upper-level equipment, so when others see the illusion, they will think that we are two ordinary people with good equipment. If they can see through the illusion, they will probably Will be scared to death by the dragon suit on me.

"I'm sorry, the two of us have special fighting styles and can't cooperate with others, so..."

"It's okay, it's okay." As soon as I heard this, I knew that we didn't want to participate. The person who asked the question immediately said politely: "We are just asking. Since it is inconvenient, then forget it. Goodbye."

After saying hello to us, the man took the team members and walked to other places. The priest mm turned to me and said: "Although this place is dedicated to releasing dark missions, I didn't expect that the quality of the people here is pretty good." .I thought this kind of place was full of people who looked like little gangsters!”

I looked at the group of people leaving and said: "Don't try to use a certain range to define the good or bad of people at any time. It's like saying that all the prisons are bad people. This sentence must be wrong, because There will also be people who have been wrongly accused in prison, but the number is relatively small. Similarly, if you say that literate people must have quality, that is definitely wrong. There is actually no direct relationship between quality and cultural level. Rogues are also very common. Although this place specializes in issuing dark missions, the people who take on such missions are not necessarily bad people. But..." I paused deliberately at this point, and then said: "But what happened just now? The helper is exactly who you imagined he would be.”

"What kind of person?"

"Bad guy."

When the priestess heard my words, she immediately turned around to look at the group of people in surprise, but I grabbed her shoulders first and turned her head back. "Don't look."

When the priest sister heard what I said, she also realized that she couldn't look at those people, otherwise she would be exposed. She quickly pretended to be very sweet and leaned on my shoulder while whispering while pointing to the bulletin board above. It seemed like he was discussing the mission with me.

"How do you know they are bad guys?" Sister Priest asked me while pretending to gesture at the task notice board.

I also cooperated with the movements of the priest sister and said: "When he was talking to us just now, I put a reconnaissance bug on him. Now they are discussing how to follow us."

"Can you hear their conversation?"

"My ghost bug is very useful, but it can only be heard by me alone."

"Isn't that enough?" asked the priest mm, "Why do they want to take advantage of us?"

"It seems that they are interested in our equipment."

When the priest girl heard me talking about the equipment, she lowered her head and looked at her armor. Now she is still wearing the Holy Spirit suit I gave her. It sounds like a good equipment, but the attributes are different from those of the priest girl. It's just that the professions don't match well.

When I saw the priest mm looking down at her equipment, I knew she had forgotten that we had disguises on us. I pointed directly to the upper right and asked her to continue looking at the bulletin board and said: "Stop looking, it's not the one you have on. Forgot that we have disguises on us." Is it an illusion? The equipment they see on us is different from what you see. The illusion on you does not affect your own vision, but others see us differently."

Only then did the priest sister remember that we still had illusions, and then said: "There are indeed many bad people in this kind of place that specializes in underground business, and they directly focus on our equipment without completing the task. These people know that our equipment is Well, you still dare to attack, aren't you afraid of our counterattack?"

"They just talked to us just to test us. Now they are sure that we are newcomers, so they dare to attack. A few of them here just came in for reconnaissance, and there are still their people waiting outside. It sounds like what they mean They said that the mission here is actually anonymous, and they plan to attack us after we complete the mission, then steal our equipment and then bring our mission credentials back to collect the mission rewards."

"Is this okay?" the priest asked in surprise.

"The dark forces' trading method must have confidentiality as the top priority, but because the confidentiality is too high, the mission itself cannot leave various records for verification like a legitimate transaction. If you accept the mission here, you will only get one The voucher with a number proves that you have accepted the task. When the task is completed, only the voucher will be recognized and no one will be recognized. Whoever comes back with the voucher that originally accepted the task can get the reward."

"The dark forces are indeed dark forces, and they are so inhumane." The priest mm said and asked: "Then what should we do now? They are always staring at us like this, how can we detect the situation here?"

Hearing the words of the priest sister, I immediately showed an evil smile. "Hehe, I'm the best at this kind of thing. How dare you take advantage of us? Some of them will regret it later."

Although the priest mm didn't know what I planned to do, she didn't say anything and just nodded to indicate that we would do what we wanted.

After we unified our opinions, I took the priest mm to search the mission bulletin board, and soon found a super simple small mission. After reading this mission, I took the priest sister and ran to the counter on the left to pick up the mission. Originally, I thought that accepting the mission would require some formalities. Who knew that they didn’t ask for anything at all and just asked us which mission we wanted to accept. When I reported the mission number, the other party immediately said: "The mission reward is two hundred crystal coins, and the deposit is half of the reward." After saying that, the NPC in charge of the reception stretched out a hand and waited for me to pay.

I didn't expect that a deposit was required, which made me super depressed. I only took this task to lure the guys behind me to follow. I had no intention of actually completing it, so handing over the deposit meant that I couldn't get it back. I hope the guys behind me can collect more than one hundred crystal coins from their possessions, otherwise I will lose money this time.

After reluctantly handing over the money, the NPC immediately handed over a magic seal with a number on it, and then said: "This is the mission voucher. Come back within three days with the voucher and the video of completing the task to collect the deposit and reward. If you exceed three Come back within six days to submit the task, the deposit will be refunded, and the reward will be cancelled. The task will automatically expire after six days. If you understand, just complete the task, and the time will start now."

Wow, this damn task process is really ruthless, and it doesn’t require any identification credentials. No matter it’s the person who takes the task or the person who issues the task, they don’t need any identification, they just need to pay money. It's a pity that I don't know how to do this task, so the one hundred crystal coins are wasted.

After receiving the mission, the priest sister and I left the mission information office together, and then walked directly towards the port area in a swaggering manner. After coming out of the port, we discovered that the port area is not actually closed to people, we just need to buy a ticket. As long as you have a ticket, you have proof of identity, and you can walk around the port area without arousing suspicion.

The priest mm and I walked outside the port area and bought two tickets, and the other party handed us a card that had been folded in half. The fold line in the middle of the card can obviously be torn, and the pieces of paper on both sides have departure and arrival written on them respectively. This is obviously used when boarding and disembarking.

After entering the port with the ticket, there is indeed no obstruction. As long as a patrol appears, just flash the ticket from a distance. However, when we walked to the water's edge, we realized that the ticket we bought before was not a boat ticket at all, but a port ticket. This place is indeed a city built by evil forces, and money is needed everywhere. The ticket we bought before only allowed us to enter the port. If we wanted to leave by water, we had to find another way. The more common way is to wait for the transportation boat, which is a bus-like boat. One boat comes in half an hour. It can carry many people at a time. You only need to spend two crystal coins to get on it. There are also two ways, one is to rent a boat, and the other is to travel by yourself.

If you swim by yourself or use your own underwater monster to leave, you don't have to pay, but because not many people have underwater mounts, this situation is actually rare. Of course, if you don’t want to travel by yourself and don’t want to wait for the bus, you can only spend money to rent a boat. The cost of renting a boat is definitely more expensive than taking a public boat, but how much more expensive depends on what kind of boat you rent. If you just rent a small wooden boat that can only seat six or seven people and row it yourself, it will be very cheap. However, if you plan to rent a large ship that hauls cargo, it will be quite expensive.

The purpose of the priest sister and I was just to lure the people behind us out. Naturally, we didn’t need a big boat, so we rented a small boat that we rowed ourselves. The advantage of not using the boatman is that we can kill the group of trackers covertly, and this can reduce our ambush cost. I just spent a hundred crystal coins as a deposit. I was already depressed. If I spent more money on this boat, I would really lose money.

When the boat left the shore, the boatman in charge of handing over the boat tore off the departure coupon from the port ticket in our hands. The other half was said to be useful after disembarking at the opposite port.

We just paddled away from the shore, and then slid along the water to the lower reaches of the underground river. After leaving the shore for some distance, I put my hand into the water pretending to be playing in the water. A huge black shadow flashed under our boat and disappeared. On the water behind us, the group of guys who were following us also rented a human-powered boat that was larger than ours and launched it into the water. Then the guy who had talked to us before urged the paddlers: "Hurry up. Come on, hurry up, don’t let them get away.”

As soon as the man finished urging, he felt the hull of the boat suddenly jump forward, and the speed increased in a straight line, chasing our boat like a motorboat. The man stood on the bow and felt excited at first, thinking that his urging had worked, but he soon realized something was wrong. The speed of the ship under their feet has been getting faster and faster since just now, and now the entire bow of the ship has left the water, running at high speed on the water like a hydrofoil. Even if that guy had no common sense, he would still know that this speed was definitely not something that could be achieved by manpower paddling, even if all the people rowing behind were muscular men.

After reacting, the man turned around in panic to ask what was going on, but as soon as he turned around, he was stunned by the situation in front of him. Although it has been discovered that this speed is not a speed that can be achieved simply by rowing, when the guy turned around, he found that all the people who were supposed to be rowing were actually there holding paddles in a daze, while their boats were rowing without anyone. Running wildly in a state of panic.

After discovering the abnormality, the man was about to say something when he suddenly saw his men pointing towards the bow of the ship, as if they wanted to tell him something. He quickly turned back and saw our boat lying across the water in front of them, looking at them. Just as he was about to warn his men to be careful, he felt the boat under his feet suddenly brake and stop violently, and those on the boat included the leader. Without exception, all of them flew out of the hull and fell into the river in front of them in an instant.

As soon as the group of people here fell into the water, a huge shadow immediately appeared under the water over there. Then the shadow suddenly rose up from the water, and all the people who were about to fall into the water were lifted up to the water, and until At this time, the leader discovered that the huge black shadow turned out to be the wings of a dragon, and the dragon looked like he had seen it somewhere before.

"Team, team, team...captain."

"What?" The captain who was thinking about where he had seen this dragon was very angry when his men interrupted his thinking. However, his men did not notice his anger and shouted directly.

"Zi...Zi Ri...that's Zi Ri's dragon."

"Purple sun?"

"Yes, Captain. That dragon is Ziri's lucky one. I have seen his photo on the forum. There are two golden hoops on the lucky dragon's horns, exactly like this one!"

"What? You mean...?"

Before the captain finished speaking, he suddenly felt something was stuck on his neck, and his body was suddenly lifted up, then turned around in the air and sent to my ship.

The guy didn't react at all when he first saw me, but when the illusion on me was cancelled, his legs immediately began to tremble violently. "Then what... President Ziri, I really didn't mean to follow you!"

"Hey, hey, hey, are you too rich? You said you weren't following me before I even said anything. Doesn't it mean you are following me?"

"this……"

"Okay, look at your idiotic look, I don't have time to play with you. I'm not waiting for you here to deal with you. You are not worthy of my action. I just wanted to catch you to find out something from you. You won't... Tell me?" While I was talking, Lucky also cooperated and picked my teeth with a claw behind my back. The sharp dragon claws and dragon teeth rubbed together, causing sparks to fly. Even a fool could see the threat in it. Got it.

"Ask, just ask. As long as we know, we will tell you everything. Even if we don't know, we will tell you if we find out!"
