The small town of Kamop.

This small town with a population of less than 1,000 is just a tiny spot on the map surrounding the Sunset Mountains.

The town's inhabitants are overwhelmingly halflings and gnomes, with a few human inhabitants building low wooden huts on the hills behind the town.

The minor lord of Kamop, Doendast, was in fact a supporter of the Harper's League, and had close ties to Beldask, the harpist's headquarters, a large trading city on the northern bank of the Oisa River on the edge of the 'Green Fields'.

Many of the halflings who wandered in the mountains behind Kamop were seasoned adventurers who belonged to the harpists.

The only thing that impresses Kamop is that it's so close to the Dark Keep. Standing in the town's humble square, if you look up, you may see the towering black spires of the Dark Castle.

At this time.

Charles and Ren Qingwu emerge from the town's only dilapidated teleportation arch.

After lighting up the portal, the two of them visit the townlord's single-family house on a hill.

In the hall of the villa, Lord Duendast heard about Charr's intention, and bowed deeply: "Adventurer, the dark soldiers in the mountains are getting more and more excessive, the town is under threat at all times, and I need you to help the town repel the invading enemy." ”

The two walked out of the lord's villa, and the personal task panel was hung with refreshed text materials:

[Harpist League - Clearing the Wandering Soldiers of the Dark Citaker in Kamop (Cycle, Daily 9/10)] 】”

[Mission requirements: 0/3 elite soldiers in the Dark Fort, 0/30 ordinary soldiers in the Dark Fort.] 】”

[Reward: 10 Harpist Alliance reputation.] 20 Kamop reputation. 】”

Daily cycling experience quests.

Out of the town, Charles took Ren Qingwu, who rode a wolf, and walked straight into the mountain range where the Dark Castle was located.

In a hilly area close to the foot of the mountain. The two encountered the first Dark Keep soldiers.

Patrol Captain of the Dark Ciep (Elite)

Level: Warrior lv20

Health: 350/350

Attributes: Strength 22, Constitution 20, Agility 13, Intelligence 10, Perception 12, Charisma 10

……”

"Dark Keep Archers

Level: Ranger lv18

Health: 200/200

Attributes: Strength 18, Constitution 15, Agility 20, Intelligence 10, Perception 10, Charisma 10

……”

Although these monsters have the intelligence of normal NPCs, they have to follow the instructions set by the system, simply put, they are wandering monsters, and they will be refreshed when they die, and they do not belong to the regular establishment of the Dark Castle.

Otherwise, with the regular strength of about 1,000 people in the Dark Castle, the town of Kamop will be lively in the future. Where is there enough for a large number of players to do a daily cycle.

"Zeke, on—"

Although Charles handed over the wolf lord to Ren Qingwu, his orders were still able to affect Zeke normally.

Roar. Zeke also seemed to react subconsciously when he heard this. Fiercely lunged at the few Dark Keep archers standing on the rocks,

In field encounters, the ranger and mage professions with little crispy blood must be lost first, or they will fall into a protracted war. These two professions are disgusting enough to fly kites.

"[Guardian Technique] (Second Ring)!"

First, he threw a magic spell that took 50% of the damage to the female bard next to him. Charles said as he held his shield on top of it, "It's good for you to output remotely, pull out of position, and don't give melee monsters close." ”

"I know!" Ren Qingwu held a small one-handed light crossbow of blue quality, and after the battle broke out, he did not advance, but hurriedly retreated with small steps.

【Shield Slamming】!

Bang! Bang!

The 'Shield of the Mountains' that slashed out collided violently with the shields of the two shield-wielding warriors of the Dark Keep, and Charr's face remained unchanged. The two shield warriors were screaming and flying out, and one of them was actually the elite captain of the patrol!

Knockback triggers.

"Damn. Intruder, this is the Dark Keep! ”

Two more shield warriors rushed up, Charles just activated the [Iron Star Stream] martial arts expertise and moves normally, this would not be a shield slam, the pitch-black heavy chain flail in his right hand, in the clanging piercing chain sound, waved a black and awe-inspiring chain hammer shadow, bang, bang, the fiery red star splashed, the two shield warriors also flew out, and their health dropped below half in the blink of an eye.

In the face of ordinary humanoid mobs, Charles does not need to use any magic or prop magic at all.

A few minutes later, there were more than a dozen twisted corpses in the mountain.

"Mission progression: 10/30 for ordinary soldiers, 1/3 for elite captains."

Before Ren Qingwu could fire many arrows, the battle was over, and she could only put away her light crossbow and follow Xia Er to pick up the equipment, and then completely cut off the idea of replenishing the output.

The priest's damage overflows, and her crossbow bolt output isn't necessary.

The process of farming monsters and brushing experience is actually very boring, this hilly area comes and goes is wearing black armor, black leather armor of the Dark Castle soldiers, see too much and get bored, if not to take Ren Qingwu, Charles would rather choose some less experience, but have a plot of interesting tasks, rather than in the wild blindly stuffy flail flail monsters.

In fact, after lv20, the XP provided by normal mobs is negligible for progress slots. In Charles' eyes, mob farming is only the least efficient way to upgrade.

But there is no way, who called Ren Qingwu a low level, and then go to a more advanced map, Xia Er feels that he is not capable of protecting a rookie who only has lv10.

After brushing the 10 cycles of the day in one go, it was noon before I knew it.

"How much experience has you progressed on?"

On the way back, Charles asked Ren Qingwu.

“89%。” Ren Qingwu smiled sweetly, "I got nearly 40% of my experience from the cycle quest. ”

This efficiency is much faster than when Charles was at lv10, and he has almost half a level of experience in just one morning. And what about yourself...... Charles glanced at his upgrade progress—

6.72%

Kill the black dragon Zebis last night and get more than 5% progress at once. But this morning, after 10 cycles, a little more than 1% of the experience progress made Charles teary-eyed.

The efficiency should not be so low.

At this rate, 10 cycles per day are 1%. After more than three months, it was possible for him to upgrade to lv25, unlock the sixth layer of the magic net, and learn the power magic skill book of [Capture Astral Creature].

"This efficiency, I can't bear it!"

So, the tenth cycle was submitted to the town lord, and Charles and Ren Qingwu hurried to the twilight trade route to Hrushwa without even staying for lunch.

Herushwa is a small city with a population of five or six thousand. In contrast to the humble town of Kamop, this small city finally gives the charr a lively feeling.

In fact, Hrushwa is more of a fortress. The walls are tall and fortified, and many watchtowers stand inside. These towers are staffed by sentinels, most of whom look out into the mountains and are always on the lookout for possible pterosaur knights of the Dark Keep.

The Church of Heim, the God of Protection. is the de facto owner of this small city. And I'm afraid many players don't know that it is such a small city, but there is a semi-legendary level of Priest Haim.

It was also because of the presence of this priest that Herois was able to repeatedly thwart the plots of the Dark Keep.

Kamop is inaccessible, there are no other players except for Charles and Ren Qingwu, and Hrushwa is in a relatively better situation, and after entering the city, there are probably dozens of passers-by. to find a player.

"Let's go to the Temple of Heim!"

As soon as he entered the city, Charles pulled Ren Qingwu to the main temple in the city center.

The guards at the entrance of the temple crossed their halberds to block the way of the two, and one of the temple guards scolded in a deep voice, "Holy Presence." This is the temple of Heim, and trespassing is considered blasphemy, and the worst is expelled and the worst is punishable by severe punishment! ”

"I'm the lord of the Rock Realm, the baron of Cormier in the Purple Dragon Kingdom, please inform the priest Morondale." Charles said unhurriedly.

The temple guard who spoke first looked at Charles and Ren Qingwu suspiciously, then turned around and walked into the temple after a few hesitations, and returned after a while, changing his respectful posture, "Two of you, please come in, Lord Morondale is already waiting in the meeting room." ”

The temple guard personally led Charles and Ren Qingwu inside.

Meeting room.

"Your Excellency the Guardian."

A priest with a very young face, estimated to be in his thirties, with brown hair scattered, took the initiative to bow his head to the Charles to show his respect.

"Hello, Pastor Morondale."

Only when the actual lord of Hrushwa raised his head did the charr have a chance to observe him.

The priest's skin was a very healthy wheat color, and it seemed that he had been regularly exercised in the flesh, and the priest must have a strong body in his robes.

He looked like Heim, his lips slightly pursed, and he looked a little cold and ruthless.

What's more, Morondale's eyes as sharp as a falcon are always full of vigilant colors. It is estimated that the Dark Castle has just set up a conspiracy against Hrushva, and the semi-legendary priest of Heim will be able to detect it immediately.

Morondale let the bewildered attendants and temple guards leave the meeting room, and then smiled slightly, "The guardian has come from afar, and I don't know if the contemptible can help you." ”

"No, no, it seems to me that what I'm going to do is not just good for the Rock Collar on the other side of the Sunset Mountains." "Do you know where I went before I came to Hrushwa?" ”

Without waiting for Pastor Heim to answer, Charles said to himself, "Kamop." The closest settlement town to the Dark Fortress. ”

When Morondale heard this, his already sharp eyes became more and more intimidating.

With that said, there is no need for Charles to continue to hide it, "In fact, the Rock Collar is also facing the threat of the Dark Fortress. And just last night, Zebis, the black dragon companion of the Supreme Commander of the Dark Castle, Pergost, died in the outskirts of the Rock Realm......"

When the words fell, Morandale was obviously stunned by the news of the death of the black dragon Zebis, and was silent for a long time before he still felt a little incredulous: "...... Is it a prime-aged black dragon? Are you sure it's Zebis? ”

"Of course, I'm sure that Zebis was buried with more than a dozen bipedal dragoons from the Dark Castle. In the area around the Sunset Mountains, except for the Dark Fortress, no force can have such an air cavalry. ”

Charles was sure. (To be continued.) )

PS: It's too late, the second watch will be sent at noon.
