Chapter 576: The Heart of Death
The Harpies are very poor, and even their clothes are only exchanged with humans for some furs, but they are very united, and consider each companion to be an irreplaceable treasure.
This means that there are loopholes to exploit, and catching one of their members can make everyone talk about the conditions calmly, but also be careful not to kill one of them, which will lead to a never-ending ending.
The rest of the harpy saw that their companions who had been captured by Bigby were not in danger of their lives except that their movements were blocked, so they left their opponents behind and regrouped.
As soon as the scene cleared, the sound of the battle came to an abrupt end.
The NPC adventurers breathed a sigh of relief, they were not completely annihilated by the Harpy, they could only be said to be merciful to the other party's subordinates, otherwise with their combat power, they would have been thrown from the sky by the Harpy at this time.
"I have hostages in my hands, and I think we can have a good talk, like why we were attacked."
"Don't hurt her, human!"
The harpy in the lead snapped, then grabbed Appletea's one and pulled the latter up, holding it in her arms, as if to say, I also have a hostage.
However, looking at Apple Tea's cool expression, it is a rare experience to stick to his back with big breasts, and it is estimated that he is a willing hostage......
"Let's calm down."
An Yizhi tried not to stimulate the other party as much as possible, and he ordered Bigbe to loosen his grip a little to make the young harpy more comfortable, and then said:
"I just want to figure out a few things, and I don't want to fight you guys as a sign of sincerity."
He waved his hand, and Bigby's clapped palm vanished.
The harpy who had been caught spread her wings and tried to find that it was no longer restrained, and quickly ran back to her companions.
An Yizhi's actions were based on the premise that the Harpys did not intend to take the lives of everyone present, based on their own speculation, and their conversations. These harpies are likely to be looking for a strong man, probably running into some trouble that they can't solve, and this battle is more like a test.
And for players, there is a task to come to the door, how can it not be justified?
Of course, An Yizhi will not put the treasure on the other party's mood, which will make him very insecure. So he pulled out the clay tablet book and injected it with a scalp-tingling magic.
In an instant, the harpys seemed to see a thunderbolt that pierced the sky, and there was no reason to survive under that vast power.
An Yizhi understands the meaning of this move very clearly, I just want to talk to you, but don't think I'm a bully.
Under the overtures and threats of force, the harpy also let go of the apple tea, which can be regarded as a return for the peach. However, the guy still had a slight regretful expression on his face after he landed......
It's especially cool to lean on big breasts, isn't it?
The lead harpy said:
"Human, you've proven yourself strong."
So? Tell me something.
"I want to know what your unusual attack is for us."
"The Queen's order, we are searching for the strong."
As a result, she still didn't say what she was doing with the strong.
"You ...... Did you run into any trouble that you couldn't solve? ”
Since the other party didn't say it, then An Yi pointed to himself and asked.
"I don't know, we're just on the Queen's orders."
“……”
Don't even know why they don't know?
Open the task list, and still no side quests are activated.
Did I guess wrong? There is no mission on these harpies?
At this time, the harpy let out a scream, and An Yizhi thought that they had done it again, and was about to cast a spell, but saw several harpies falling from the sky, and they were still holding the unlucky ones who had been captured before.
"We don't need the weak, but we know that hurting them will anger the strong, so none of them are hurt."
As the Harpy said, those NPC adventurers were not injured at all except for their soft hands and feet, and their faces were probably frightened when they were circling in the air.
After a fight, there were no casualties on either side, and judging from the current situation, the harpy obviously has a task on it, but why is it not activated?
An Yizhi was a little puzzled, if he didn't have a task, he would have activated the chain of lightning to do the hair of these harpy banshees, and he couldn't talk nonsense at all.
"Well, we can't leave."
The goblin merchant who crawled out from under the car said weakly, shivering as he had been hiding underneath during the battle.
"No way!"
The Harpy flatly refused.
What does this mean?
"Master, there's another harpy approaching."
As she wondered, Hela saw another black dot appear on the horizon.
It was a black-winged harpy holding a staff with a wooden body decorated with feathers.
"That's the Harpy Psychic, the caster unit of the Harpy Banshee, and its status is equivalent to that of the Shaman in the tribe."
In Hela's explanation, the harpy psychic quickly approached the harpy in the lead and muttered a few words in her ear, because the details were too far away for Ann to hear clearly.
Then the leading harpy said:
"Is there one of you named Ann Yizhi?"
As soon as the words fell, everyone on the ground cast their eyes.
An touched his nose with a finger, Lao Tzu is already famous to the point that even the harpy banshee who lives in seclusion in the mountains knows about it?
–‐‐——–‐‐——
Harpies do have a mission on them, and they came out of their place of residence to find An Yiji.
The whole battle was completely unnecessary, and it was not until the eagle-body psychic explained to An Yizhi that he understood what was going on.
Their queen asked the clan to go to An Yizhi, saying that he was in the middle of the mountain road, but before she could tell her people's name, the harpy who led the team ran out with a roar.
His idea was simple, the person the queen was looking for must be extremely strong and a strong man. So just try who's the strongest.
I have to say that this Qingqi brain circuit is simply a fight with the stupid eldest sister Gale Angel......
In other words, winged creatures are all the types of people who don't have enough brains?
Anyway, the misunderstanding was solved, and An Yizhi also got a side quest.
[Side Quest Activation: Solve the Harpy's Troubles]
Just looking at this side quest, An Yizhi felt a little regretful.
Trouble-solving tasks are usually not easy to do, as the purpose is not clear, and the Harpys don't know what the Queen is doing with Ann Ichchi.
However, generally speaking, the rewards of this kind of quest are not low, even if the harpy is poor and there are no item rewards, completing this side quest will also bring players a lot of experience point rewards, so it is impossible for An Yizhi, who is in the painful period of upgrading, not to do it.
However, there is a premise, at least until they send the Goblin Merchant to Collinnan Village, this is also a side quest, and there will be a settlement reward bonus after completion.
The harpys understood, but they didn't usually go to human towns unless they had to, so now they were hanging far in the air behind the convoy, their sharp eyes always staring at the convoy, as if they were afraid that Ann would run away.
The most uncomfortable should be the NPC adventurers and goblin merchants, and the feeling of being on their backs is not comfortable. Even the horses felt threatened, running much faster than usual, which greatly accelerated the caravan's march, and because of the threat of the Harpy, the other monsters did not dare to come out, which can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, right?
Followed by a large group of harpies, with the efforts of the horses, after about thirty minutes, the caravan entered the territory of Corinnan Village.
The small village was built on a clearing in the mountains, where land was limited and there was not enough food to grow, so fruit trees and other cash crops were planted.
I have to say that this trick is really good, Kelinnan Village produces spices and fruits with strange effects in exchange for living materials, and the quality of life of the villagers is relatively high.
As soon as they entered the village, everyone smelled the smell of dried spices mixed with the fragrance of fruit trees.
The goblin merchant unloads the goods, and soon a local shop takes over. The adventurers who had completed a mission stormed the town's only inn, and unlike Ann and them, they had to escort the goblin merchants to the Imperial city on the other side of the mountain.
The way down the mountain is easier than going up, and there are often patrols by the Imperial Army to prevent sneak attacks on the side of the Holy Kingdom, so it is relatively safe.
"Give me and my friends a glass of wine each."
People love to drink, which is very similar to that of barbarians. As soon as he entered the inn, he shouted loudly, and then followed the goblin merchant with a finger:
"He pays the bills."
The adventurers cheered, then rushed to the old dwarf wiping his cups behind the bar, the owner of the shop and the bartender.
"Hey! Wait a minute! I mean....."
The goblin merchant resisted for a while, and then lowered his shoulders in a dejected manner:
"Okay okay, I'm in for a treat, but only one round! Want to drink again and pay your own bills! ”
"To the generous goblins!"
The man raised the glass that had just been filled with ale, and the other adventurers followed suit.
Spending a little money to win the adventurer's favor was a good deal, but the goblin merchant still had a sore face.
An Yizhi and Apple Tea don't have any special requirements for drinks, and Fast is the type that doesn't stick to alcohol, so the three of them each asked for a roast steak to eat to recover the physical strength consumed in the battle just now.
Send the goblin merchant to the village of Corinnan, and their side quest is considered complete, at this time they should go out of the village to find the harpy to join up, but An Yizhi wants to come in and see if there are any tasks or something to do.
But as the saying goes, poor mountains and bad waters produce bad people, because of the natural conditions, the people in this small village are very self-reliant and self-reliant, and they will never come out to entrust others with things that can be solved by themselves, and they can't find any side tasks when they ask the boss in the hotel. I only heard some rumors as intelligence.
It is said that many travelers and merchants have seen the Imperial army transporting goods on the official road, but they dare not go there to check how far they can run, and only dare to use it as a talking point in the bar.
"Mr. An, are you really going to help the Harpy?"
Fast and neatly wiped out her lunch, whispering between munching.
"It would take more than three hours to get from Collinnan to the mission site, and there was no road to go, and the carriage was impassable, so I don't think it would be a good thing to have another problem"
An Yizhi was listening to the conversation of the diners around him, and replied:
"Even if we rush over immediately, we need to lay in ambush until dark to investigate."
It's just 1 p.m. now, and it's still too dark.
"Besides, if we help the Harpy, at least we can ask them to take us from the air, and the safety and speed will be better."
With this consideration, Fast has no opinion, since the last time he and An Yizhi found out the prisoner who murdered the Demon Guide King, Fast felt that An Yizhi was quite reliable.
- provided that his heart does not stir when he dies......
