Chapter 16 Asking for Tasks
The two terrorists who were slapped in the face were immediately stunned. First they looked at me, who was very close, with dull eyes. Then they looked down at the bombs on their bodies and the detonators that had fallen to the ground. Then they were stunned for several seconds. The ferocious man suddenly reacted, his expression quickly changed to a ferocious one, and he began to yell, but as soon as he spoke, I kicked him to the ground.
"His grandpa, why are you yelling for nothing? You scared me!"
The guy who was kicked over still remembered, but what was waiting for him was a swarm of guards. As for the man with the dagger next to me, he still hadn't recovered from his daze.
After easily dealing with those two idiots, I walked directly to the woman over there, and then kicked her down while the guards looked at me in surprise. Then I stepped on her right shoulder with one foot and lifted her up with a sword. Qi's left hand was also nailed to the ground.
"No need to pretend anymore, spiritual magic is useless to me." I said, suddenly bent down and grabbed the woman's clothes and pulled them down. I only heard a scolding sound, not many clothes were directly removed in an instant. It was torn off, but what everyone saw was not something inappropriate for children, but a set of close-fitting armor, a rare type of armor that only protected important parts. "I don't think a chamberlain needs to wear this kind of armor, and it seems that your strength is much stronger than that of the guards. I don't think such a person is suitable to be a chamberlain. On the contrary, a captain of the guard is more suitable for you. As for the one on your neck The necklace doesn't seem to be an ordinary thing, but the fluctuations of spiritual magic items are very special. Don't you know that it is easy to be felt when you wear something like this?"
The woman who had been completely seen through completely gave up her disguise and looked at me with a ferocious expression as she twisted her body and tried to resist, but the result was not only causing greater pain to herself. Roots have no other meaning. The guards nearby came over and tried to hold her down, but she refused to cooperate. Moreover, once I let go of the guards around her, they couldn't hold her down. In the end, I had no choice but to give her a thorough blow, using Eternal. A light tap on her back. The woman instantly lost her strength and went limp. At the same time, a large pool of smelly liquid flowed out of her lower body. The woman obviously didn't expect this to happen, her expression immediately turned to shame and anger, and she looked at me as if she wanted to bite a piece of meat off of me. In fact, I just cut off her spinal nerve. This is similar to those patients who suffered high paraplegia due to accidents. Moreover, her behavior was intentional on my part, so it was quite serious. She couldn't even control her bowel movements, which was why the embarrassing scene happened before.
Watching the guards drag all three terrorists away, I turned back to the Archon and said seriously: "Does it seem that the Archon's security force is still a little weak?"
The consul nodded when he heard my words and said: "Indeed! Thanks to your help, otherwise I don't know what would have happened today." Although he doesn't know my identity yet. But this does not hinder the Archon's respect for me. After all, my strength has been shown before. Isn't this an idiot for mindlessly putting on airs against a powerful being who can easily take care of me? Antonio the Consul can reach this position, so you won't be that kind of idiot. So he chose the most correct way to deal with it.
"You don't have to worry about my help." What I actually want to say is that if you have any tasks, just give them to me as soon as possible. But unfortunately, personal experiments by myself and countless players have proven that it is meaningless to directly say to the NPC, "Give me the task quickly." We are players, and we know that "Zero" is a game, so we can calmly understand what a mission is. And the NPCs don't know this. They even call players adventurers, so of course they can't directly issue quests to you, so I have to follow the Archon's words. Only in this way can you get the task during the conversation. Anyway, as long as you make sure that the NPC has a task released and follow his words, you will always receive the task. Of course, this is because your conversational skills are not too bad, otherwise you will get into an argument in just three sentences and an idiot will give you a task.
Even though I said don't care. The consul said politely: "How can I not care about the grace of saving my life? If you have any needs, just feel free to do it. As long as I can do it."
Since the other party said so, of course I tried to find a way to get around the task. "In that case... why not give me a job?"
"Huh?" The consul obviously didn't expect that I would have such a question.
I just wanted a mission, so I couldn't let him refuse, so I quickly explained: "Although you think it's a great favor for me to save you, I always feel a little bit embarrassed to get benefits from you for not doing anything, so I think, If you have any trouble, why not tell me and let me help you solve it, even if you hire me to help you. Of course, as your gratitude to me, the reward can be a little more generous. This way I won’t feel I'm sorry, after all, it is the income from my labor. Do you think this is feasible?"
"This..." It's not that the request is too complicated, but it's too unexpected. It makes the consul himself a little confused. But since I said so, although the other party is surprised, it's hard to go against my wishes, let alone this kind of thing. It's obvious that he took advantage. "this……"
"My name is Ziri, and I am the president of the Frost Rose Alliance. You can call me President Ziri."
"Okay, President Ziri, I would like to ask, what kind of tasks can you take on?"
"Is this...actually there are no special restrictions. As long as you can afford the reward, I can take on any mission. The battle just now was only a small part of my strength. I can also complete large missions." I came here to try to be as big as possible to facilitate the other party's request, but suddenly I thought that my level task had a time limit, so I quickly said: "Of course, the task time cannot be too long. It is best if it can be completed within three or four days." I have no intention of staying here permanently."
As soon as the consul heard this request, he immediately began to think about it, but before he could think of it, a deputy next to him came up and said a few words in his ear. The other party immediately responded to me and said: "Dear Purple Society Chief, we just thought of a very troublesome thing that we can’t easily solve ourselves, but if it is, maybe we can do it.”
"Is it time consuming?"
"Probably not." The consul said, "I'm just looking for and killing them."
"tell me the story."
"Here's what happened." The Archon began to explain the details to me, and I quickly understood everything.
In fact, the thing is very simple. It is a city near Duludu. After the establishment of Duludu, the two have been in a hostile relationship. This is mainly a question of resources. Both cities are commercial cities. Duludu has better policies and a relatively better location, so it is favored by merchants from the underwater race. However, the other city's policies are very bad. In the past, there were only a few people nearby. They are a commercial city, so they are very good at it. Now that their business has been robbed, they will naturally not be reconciled. In fact, the terrorists who attacked Duludu came from that place.
Being frequently harassed and attacked by the opponent, the people of Duludu have naturally thought about fighting back, but it is different from Duludu. That city is not an underwater city like Duludu, but a mobile city. This city is not as big as Dulu, but it can float and move on the bottom of the sea. Although the speed is very slow, it is still mobile after all. Because they had to do business before, they had always stayed in one place without moving. However, after the war with Duludu, their business was basically finished. If they stayed there, they would only be beaten passively, so the city began to enter mobile mode. . Of course, because they are always moving, the merchants of the underwater race cannot find them, and their business will naturally be ruined. Although this was their own decision, they believed that it was Duludu and their war that forced them to move, thereby losing their status as a commercial city and making their lives difficult. In short, they think that Duludu will cut off their financial resources, so they always want to find people who are in Duludu.
The people here in Duludu are not the masters of cutting meat to feed eagles. Since the war has begun, they have long wanted to destroy the other side, but they are always moving. They have never been able to find the location of the other side's city, and the army cannot You can't hang around outside all the time. What's even worse is that the enemy can't move them, so the other side always sends people to harass them, but they can't fight back. This situation was better before. Recently, the other party's attacks have become more and more frequent and their methods are endless. Several foreign businessmen were killed in the past few days. This situation has seriously affected the economic development of Duludu. After all, if a commercial city is constantly fighting wars, no one except arms dealers will be willing to go here. So now the Archon can be said to be very troublesome to the enemy.
This time I suddenly showed up and made such a request. To the consul, it was just a surprise. No wonder he couldn't react at first. The main reason is that the smarter the person, the less likely he is to deal with this kind of pie-in-the-sky thing. Dare to believe.
"So, your mission is for me to find the mobile city and destroy it?" I confirmed it again after listening to the Archon's narrative.
The consul shook his head and said: "It doesn't have to be destroyed. Of course it is best to destroy it. As long as we can find it and continue to track it, and guide our army to successfully find it and launch an attack, it will be considered as the minimum completion of the mission. If it can be destroyed If the mobile device forces it to stop and ensures that it cannot move again for a period of time, then the normal mission is completed. If it can be destroyed, then the mission is overfulfilled. Is that okay?"
I nodded and said: "No problem, I'm the best at finding things. But since you are mortal enemies, you must know something about the other party's range of activities, right? Tell me the information you know, and it's best to match me with a few more familiar ones. If the scouts in the nearby terrain discover the other party, I can go up and entangle them, and I can also ask your scouts to come back and report."
"No problem, I wish you success in completing the mission."
