Chapter 245: You Good-for-Nothing Scum! (2-in-1)
Bai Xiaowen questioned the rules of the spirit world, but did not receive a response.
Bai Xiaowen thought for a while, turned his head to the blue-haired girl Bernita and said, "Hey, you are barely a knight, you should understand the truth of Entu, right?"
Berneta's blue eyes widened, "Y-How can you do this...... It is a knight's duty to save a girl in distress, how can you ask for a reward like this......"
Bai Xiaowen snorted: "Come on, I'm not a knight, according to what you just said, I'm a 'despicable' necromancer......"
On the word despicable, Bai Xiaowen deliberately added an accent.
Berneta's face turned red, but fortunately she couldn't see clearly in the dim darkness of the mine. She said anxiously: "But, I don't have the money......"
There's a door.
Bai Xiaowen came to the spirit, he figured out some rules for the rewards of the spiritual side quests, like this kind of task marked with "unknown reward", after completion, it is up to the awakened to fight for benefits.
For example, in the Three Kingdoms Plane World, when Bai Xiaowen and the others met Liu Bei for the first time, they proposed to reward Guan Yu and Zhao Yun for their guidance, but they were rejected. After that, Bai Xiaowen offered to interpret the Book of Spells as a reward, and he was approved.
Of course, a big guy like Liu Bei is sophisticated, and he doesn't need Bai Xiaowen to take the initiative to mention it, he knows how to give rewards. As for this dumb-headed Berita, if Bai Xiaowen didn't mention it, she might really be confused and over, and this side quest would be in vain in addition to giving Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi some combat experience......
In fact, Bai Xiaowen did it easily, it only took a little time, and it didn't take much effort.
In fact, according to the normal operation of the rules of the spirit world, Bai Xiaowen and the two should first sneak into the northern mine to rescue Berneta, and then Bernita will offer to fight side by side with Bai Xiaowen and the two to defeat the bandit leader Ian. Bernita's participation in the battle itself is a reward for the side quest [Rescue].
And from the clues he has learned so far, Bai Xiaowen faintly judged in his heart that Ian is probably not a boss who must be killed - after all, if other awakened people are replaced, even if the level is one or two levels higher, they may not be able to kill Ian in the presence of two level 7 strength elite bandit guards.
What's more, Ian blew the bone whistle as soon as possible, and dozens of elite bandits in the entire mine rushed over to support, which was simply more difficult than the level of the S-level elite mission, which was too high.
If it weren't for Bai Xiaowen's big killer weapon of the Kusanagi Sword, two consecutive big snake nagi killed several of Ian's henchmen and scared off other robbers, and it was really hard to say who would win and who would lose in the end.
If Bernita had been rescued and the three of them had faced Ian, the apprentice knight Bernita might have persuaded Ian directly through his mouth...... At the very least, it will also make the difficulty of the battle a cut.
But Bai Xiaowen didn't take the usual path, and after forcibly killing Ian, he turned around and rescued Bernetta...... In this way, Bernita has no reward to give to Bai Xiaowen.
These speculations flashed in Bai Xiaowen's head for 0.2 seconds before they passed. Ian is dead, and there's no point in talking about that now.
Seeing that Berita was trying to get by, Bai Xiaowen was not fooled, and said decisively: "There is no money to use as collateral for treasures, such as your weapons and equipment......"
Berneta's eyes widened: "The knight's sword is more important than life, even the robbers have not taken my sword! you, you will not be more ...... than the robbers"
"Stop, stop," Bai Xiaowen walked closer to the entrance of the cave, and could already see the backs of several robbers fleeing from the cave in a panic with small bags on their backs. He turned around and had a showdown with Berneta, "If you don't have enough gold, keep your sword and armor...... Choose one, Cadet Knight. β
Li Shuyi played a round and said: "Xiao...... Brother, Bernita is indeed very pitiful, she really has no money, and confiscating a knight's sword and armor is equivalent to taking her life......"
Bernita shrank behind Li Shuyi's back and nodded desperately.
"I don't think it's better to let Miss Bernita stay with us for the time being...... Next, we have to wipe out the bandits of the entire White Stone Collar, and Miss Bernita can compensate by fighting......" said Li Shuyi.
Bai Xiaowen glanced at Berita with suspicion: "She doesn't look like she's capable of anything, otherwise how could she be caught by Ian." β
Bernita said sharply: "Hu, nonsense! I am very good, among the cadet knights who graduated in this batch, I have always been, and I am in the top ten......
Bai Xiaowen pouted: "Okay, I'll trust you for the time being." However, you'll have to save me at least once to settle the matter. Otherwise, you'll always owe me the life of this 'vile necromancer', remember?"
Bernita pouted, "I don't owe you my life." I'm going to fight hard. β
The spirit rule prompt sounds:
"Grace Knight Bernita asks to join your domain, do you agree?"
"Grace Knight Berita's opinion of you has decreased, and the current opinion level is: Normal. β
After Bai Xiaowen agreed to accept, the number of troops on his lord's page changed from 0 to 1, and Berita's details were obtained.
γBerita (Elite Level 4)γ
[Race: Humanoid/Terran]
[Class: Grace Knight]
[Attributes: Strength 14, Agility 10, Constitution 15, Spirit 22]
[Skill: Divine Hand, Protective Seal, Divine Grace Descends]
In addition to these basic profiles, the details include Berneta's combat perks, as well as an introduction to the attributes of some of the main equipment (armor and weapons). These are things that cannot be seen through the "insight" talent.
To Bai Xiaowen's surprise, Bernita was actually a knight who preferred to be a spellcaster, with an "advanced level 5" light spell mastery, and he was also quite good in melee combat, with level 4 fighting and level 4 one-handed swordsmanship.
The three skills are very good, among which [Holy Hand] is a small skill with a short cooldown, which can be used as a damaging spell or as a healing spell to restore health, which is flexible and versatile. [Protective Seal] can make an ally immune to physical attacks below priority 6 for a short time, and [Divine Grace] is a big move that can restore health and strengthen armor to all allies!
"Make a lot of money......" Bai Xiaowen silently nodded in his heart. Berita, the Grace Knight, is a powerful nurse, although her brain is not very useful.
The three of them came to the outside of the mine, and the bandit camp was in chaos at this time, and the robbers with quick legs and feet had already slipped away, but most of the robbers were still busy packing their packages and planning to run softly. The most feared are the horsemen, men, blacksmiths, and other servants, who are not like other robbers, who can find a random place to join the gang, and seem to be hesitant.
On the other side of the stable, more than a dozen elite robbers competed for each other, each leading a horse and jumping on it in a hurry.
However, after only a few steps, it was tragic, and with a sloppy neigh, the first horse fell to the ground, and some unknown substance flowed from behind its buttocks, and even the elite robber fell into the mud.
It was as if a switch had been turned on, causing a chain reaction, and a dozen or so horses followed behind fell to the ground one after another, and the smell near the stable was stinking.
"With so many robbers, how should we co-opt them?" Li Shuyi whispered.
"Whether it is to force good people to become prostitutes, or to persuade people to abandon evil and follow good, they are nothing more than two means, carrots and sticks," Bai Xiaowen confidently led Li Shuyi all the way to the wooden gate of the robber camp and stood still, "Killing the bandit leader Ian has already shown our strength." The next step is to lure it to the advantage, and that's almost it......"
Speaking of this, Bai Xiaowen suddenly raised his voice, and a broken cry sounded over the chaotic camp:
"You good-for-nothing scum!"
......
The chaotic camp fell silent for a moment. Whether it was an ordinary robber packing his luggage, an elite robber studying horses, or a robber servant who was at a loss, they all raised their heads and looked in the direction from which the sound came.
There are a few elite robbers with a bad temper, who have already touched the knife, and plan to give this guy who doesn't know what to do with it to let out some blood.
However, seeing Bai Xiaowen's hooded wizard robe (the illusion in the eyes of the spirit world), many people fell into fear.
"See, it's this wizard who killed Boss Ian. β
"So fast? I thought Boss Ian would be able to support him for a while even if he couldn't beat it. β
"This wizard is terrifyingly strong, he can raise his hand to emit hellish flames, burning both Galben and Itami to death! This kind of mana, Ian Boss is far from being able to compare, and it is normal to die......"
"What should I do? Now that he has blocked the gate of the village, he probably doesn't plan to let us go......
Those elite robbers didn't mean to come forward to stir up trouble, and the ordinary robbers heard the word of mouth of other people, and knew Bai Xiaowen's "terrible strength", so they didn't dare to step forward.
Many people aimed at the low barracks. A fence of this height is basically equivalent to a fictitious fence for them.
It doesn't matter if the gate is blocked, just a few of you, and you can't block the entire wall of the camp. This is the thought of many robbers.
After Bai Xiaowen took the lead, he began to report to his home.
"I'm Lord of Whitestone, Baron Dio Skelboom!
"I'm here to represent the Empire and destroy you!"
"Your leader, Ian, has been put to death by me!
"According to the laws of the Empire, I should have hung all of you maggots up to dry, but there aren't that many flagpoles in White Rock Town!"
"Now, I'm giving you a chance to mend your ways...... Accept my adaptation and become a personal guard under the command of the master! That's right, from a robber to a guard! No need to live in this stinking cold cave again!"
"Those who are willing to accept the adaptation, roll over to me and kneel in front of me!"
Bai Xiaowen suddenly turned out the heavy cash box from the storage space, and poured out a large pile of gold coins with a bang.
There was a low cry, which sounded in the crowd of robbers, and there was even a slight sound of swallowing saliva.
Bai Xiaowen's voice added a touch of evil temptation under the temptation of gold coins, which was irresistible: "The first ten people who kneel over can get a reward of 10 gold coins. The people in the back can only take two pieces each...... Start choosing now. Don't force me to take back this short-lived kindness!"
The sound of swallowing saliva was louder.
One of the robbers boldly asked, "How do we know whether we should trust you or not?"
"Mole ant, your life is in my hands now, you don't have any right to argue!" Bai Xiaowen said gloomily, "You despicable maggots, it's not worth it for me to dig out my mind to fabricate lies, I want to kill you, it's as simple as moving my fingers!"
At this time, there was a tall and thin robber who sneaked up on the fence, intending to climb over and escape. And behind him, there were several robbers who were eager to try.
"It seems that someone is challenging my patience. β
Bai Xiaowen showed a sneer, and suddenly launched [Deterrence]!
With Bai Xiaowen as the center, an awe-inspiring coercion spread, and the robbers in the camp all felt a burst of fear that penetrated into the bone marrow, and they couldn't even move a finger!
The two-star mutation skill deterrence is as easy to use as the overlord color domineering, not to mention Bai Xiaowen's lord status bonus. The robber, who was slightly weaker, was directly frightened for nearly ten seconds.
And the robber who tried to climb the fence was even more frozen, and he didn't even dare to move.
Bai Xiaowen raised his hand, raised his gun, and calmly aimed.
There was a deathly silence in the field. It's like being on the execution ground, just a few seconds before a shot is fired at a condemned prisoner, it's suffocating.
Boom!
The robber's eyebrows were splashed with blood, and he fell to the sky!
Bai Xiaowen put away the Desert Eagle and said leisurely, "Now, who else has any objections to my words?"
In fact, Bai Xiaowen played a trick.
It was a level 6 bandit, and even though it was an ordinary template, his health was as high as 150 points or more, and his armor was more than a dozen points. Even if Bai Xiaowen's Desert Eagle hits the vital point of the eyebrows, if the single damage does not reach 1/3 of the maximum health, it will not trigger a spike - unless a critical hit is triggered, with the Desert Eagle's +4 special effect headshot, even an elite-level bandit can be killed in seconds.
However, Bai Xiaowen himself is not very agile and has a very low critical strike rate. And he has just been out of combat not long ago, and the cumulative critical strike rate of [Ryuji Yamazaki's Fighting Gloves] is only about 5%, and it is impossible to achieve 100% critical hits.
The reason why I was able to kill that robber in seconds was because of the shadow assassin's lurking + assassination package. It's just that Bai Xiaowen wants to create the illusion of crushing the robbers with strength, saying that whoever takes his life must do it with his fingers! Therefore, the shadow assassin cannot be exposed.
At the same time that the robber fell to the ground, Bai Xiaowen used the telepathic link to control the shadow assassin and lay down at the same time. The Shadow Assassin itself is a soul-clan's undead creature, and it is even more difficult to detect in the darkness of night.
Bai Xiaowen's pretense has undoubtedly been a great success. Stimulated by the gold coins, a robber servant suddenly rushed forward and knelt down in front of Bai Xiaowen:
"Great Lord Dior, your humble servant Harvey swears allegiance to you!"
