Chapter 423: Mysterious Figure
Turning to the next room, it looked like a study, with four sets of tall black oak bookshelves neatly leaning against the wall, and the shelves were neatly arranged with beautifully decorated books. It's a pity that I can't take all of them, as soon as I stretch out my hand, the system will remind me that this item does not belong to me and cannot be obtained. Looking at the titles of those strange books, what are "The Spell of Blood", "The Summoning of the Soul", "The Use of Night", "The Technique of Flying"...... Each one looks like an advanced skill book, but I can only read it, I can't take it, I blinked my eyes, touched the nameless liquid on my chin, my heart was full of helplessness and depression, isn't it obviously stimulating.
Where is that box that the world said for a moment, I searched around the room, hehe, this thing is squatting by the desk by the window. It is a fourth-floor octagonal box, not made of metal or wood, with a flying angel reflected on each side, and the surrounding border is surrounded by fine green lace. The chest wasn't locked, or rather, I couldn't find its opening, but in one case of the corners, I had a narrow slit and a stripe of metal, the shape of which was very similar to the handle of the Crusader's Confession in my hand. Could it be that the sword was the key to open the box, I took the sword out of my backpack and tentatively inserted it into the box.
"Don't do that!" The figure of Count Nikolai suddenly appeared in front of me, trying to stop my move, but it was already a step too late. When I inserted the Crusader Confession into the gap, the whole box suddenly clicked with a strange sound, and I quickly drew my sword back, but I couldn't stop the change of the box, only to see it stand diagonally, as if an invisible force pushed it, making it spin high, and I saw that my eyes were full of consternation, and I took a few steps back with my twin knives. I muttered to myself: what the hell is in this box. How is it so weird.
Finally, after many spins, the box snapped and shattered, and a shrill shrill laugh erupted from the box, as if it were a carving knife on the glass: "Hahaha! I'm free, I'm finally free! Immediately after, a small demonic monster with black wings sprang out of the box like a black lightning bolt. Flap its wings in front of me for a moment, and then immediately burst out of the window with a bang.
"What's that?" I turned my head to Count Nikolai and asked.
"Providence, this is really providential providence......" Count Nikolai sighed and shook his head and said, "I used to go to great lengths to seal it up, and now this guy is finally free, and all my previous efforts have been in vain." With that, he sighed, turned into white light again, and attached it to the Crusader Confession. He didn't want to say anything more to me.
Dizziness is completely a word that does not reach the meaning, and the answer is not what is asked, which does not mean that it is not said. Providence, I don't care if he is providential or human, you are in vain about my business, and you will flash halfway through the words, grandma, don't give me face at all, I muttered in my heart, and put the silver sword in my backpack. I thought I could get a baby.,It turned out to be a little thing out.,Cut.,Boring.,Since the things to be done are all in order.,Our buddies should also flash back.。
The white light flashed, and the figure disappeared into the room, the surrounding qiē was as old as ever, except for the broken and broken windows.
Little did I know that it was because I opened the Bondage Box that led to another hidden quest to capture the Imp, and it was the player who later completed this quest to awaken the sleeping Queen of St. Catherine in another room and turn her into a ......
"Xiao Zhang, it's not me saying you, it's better for young people to go out and walk around more, don't stay at home all day long and surf the Internet, it's not good for your health." Aunt Li was muttering words that she had said countless times at me while cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks on the table.
"Well, I know, Aunt Li, I often go out and walk, but it just so happens that you're not there, so I didn't see it." I took a rag and helped wipe the table, and I replied casually, "We have been walking around the world every day, and we have not been idle."
"You don't make me happy, the clothes and shoes you wear when you go out in the past few days are clean, where have you ever gone out. Like you, it's not a thing to stay at home all the time, there is nothing to do all day, how can any girl take a fancy to you in the future. "Aunt Li saw me wipe the table, smiled and nodded, as if to say in her eyes, it seems that I am not a good-for-nothing boy who can only idle all day long, at least I will help do something.
Khan, I glanced at Aunt Li a few times, and she treated me as a young master who was eating at home and could only stretch out his hands to eat, and the tone of his voice was to let me get in touch with Du Hui outside and find something to do. It's no wonder she thinks so, since the first day she came to my house, I've been playing games almost all the time, and I haven't seen me go out to find any work, but the money never seems to be less, not because the family has money. How did she know, not only did we not ask the family for a penny, but also sent money to my parents every month, if it weren't for the fact that the construction of our territory required a large amount of money, it is estimated that I would have bought a house here for my parents to move in. As for the girls...... I don't need to be too clear with her, it's not good to leak personal **.
"Okay, okay, I'll go out for a walk in a while, and make sure to get my clothes and shoes dirty and come back, so it's okay." In order to prevent Aunt Li's mother from continuing to do it, I had to agree in a half-joking way, and as for whether I want to go out for a while, it's my own business.
"You're going out, that's great." Aunt Li waved her head from the kitchen and said to me with a smile: "It's raining in the past two days, and I've made my old mistake again, and I can't take heavy things, since you want to go out, why don't you help me buy a bag of rice and come back, you are running out of rice here." ”
Dizzy, she was afraid that I would be perfunctory, so she specially assigned me a task. Although I don't want to do it in my heart, it's Aunt Li's care, and if I refuse, I'm really a little embarrassed. Besides, asking her to carry dozens of catties of rice upstairs by herself, we can't bear it, this is what men should do on the ground. It's like a satin body.
I promised to go buy rice in a while. Aunt Li said that she would go with me, for fear that the rice I chose would not be good, and the food I cooked would not be delicious. Dizzy, although I can't tell the difference between Thai fragrant rice and Chinese long-grain fragrant rice, and what kind of pearl rice is better to cook, which is suitable for cooking porridge, which is suitable for cooking dry rice, but as long as I buy it back, the person who eats it is not me in the end, whether it is delicious or not is up to us. It's really troublesome to be so particular about what to do. But no matter what I said, Aunt Li insisted on going with me, and to put it bluntly, she was still afraid that I would be bored at home and not go out, and she was not at ease.
When I arrived in the city, I didn't know that it was an excuse to buy rice, and this Aunt Li was holding on to teaching me how to survive from the bottom of her heart. From the choice of buying rice, to the selection of vegetables, and the purchase of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar. He even told me countless times to pay attention to the production date when I buy things...... It's really sweaty, I never thought I'd be dealing with this bunch of chores in the future. In the past, there was no Aunt Li here, so the most we could do was buy a bunch of food and pile it in the refrigerator, and when we were tired of eating, we would go to the stall outside to make a tooth sacrifice. Occasionally, I have nothing to do, at best, I just cook a few small dishes, we should entertain ourselves, how much effort to prepare a lot of "boutiques" to put at home.
In the end, I carried a large bag of things to my house, and I really don't know how Aunt Li moved these things to my house in normal times. When I went shopping with a ponytail, I realized that when I went out on the street with young women, men would only have to be coolies. How do I know that when I go to the street with an elderly woman like Aunt Li, how can I still be a coolie, and I am tired enough......
What, you said that Aunt Li was the nanny I hired, and she should have been asked to do the thing. Brother, you can't say that, although Aunt Li is taking my salary, but people care about me from the bottom of their hearts, so they will let me "help" to do these things. Be kind, people do laundry, cooking, and cleaning for me every day, and I am conscientious, knowing that I often don't care about eating because of playing games, and even the supper snacks are prepared for us properly, is this something that can be done by casually hiring a nanny, to be honest, Aunt Li has actually treated us as her relatives, if we don't know how to respect the elders a little, then the previous sage books are really in vain.
After sending Aunt Li away and taking care of my precious goldfish and flowers and plants, I put on my helmet with peace of mind and prepared to enter the world, and at the same time muttered in my heart, we have money, we should also change our game equipment, when to move a mimic warehouse home.
Now I have a home in the game, so we usually go back to the room of the "Devil's House" and then go offline, so every time I go online, I always lie quietly on our big bed that is more than three meters wide and extremely comfortable, as if I have just woken up from a dream, and when I open my eyes, I am greeted by the lake light and water shadow refracted from the window to the ceiling, which feels very comfortable.
Stretching a big waist, I stepped out of the room, and the first thing I did when I went out was to call the housekeeper Yue'er and ask about the current construction of the territory. Now our territory is changing day by day, becoming more beautiful and magnificent, and the prestige of the territory is getting higher and higher (the prestige of the territory is affected by the prestige of the lord, and it is also affected by the construction of the territory. The better it is built, the more prestige it has; Conversely, if a territory is full of dilapidated buildings and there are no workshops or businesses to make a living, the lower its prestige will be. There are more and more residents of the system NPCs who are attracted to it, and several of our workshops are fully staffed, as long as the source of materials is not a problem, it is basically possible to ensure the supply of goods.
I'll give you a small explanation of why the locals are attracted to NPCs and not players. After all, people's hearts are separated by their bellies, and in the case that the construction of our territory is not complete, I don't want to have too many insecurity factors around me. If anyone can enter our territory as a resident, we can't be overturned by a bunch of foreigners when we sleep in the middle of the night. Therefore, at present, the permanent residents of the "Demon House", except for a few friends who have been settled in the area by several major gangs and ponytails, I am not allowed to let in a single outsider at all. Have a business to talk to me about? Want to come in and visit? It's okay to have a qiē, but you have to contact our lord first, find out the background of the way, and then talk about entering the territory, otherwise you don't need to talk about it.
According to past experience, at this time, Ponytail should have discussed the construction of the territory with the housekeeper Yue'er in the hall, and the sound of their conversation could be heard from afar. Why did I walk to the stairs today. But there is not even a single movement? Could it be that something happened to the territory, or was there some accident? As soon as I felt something was wrong, I immediately quickened my pace and hurried to the hall on the first floor.
Khan, I'm not dreaming, what kind of formation is this, is there a new big man in the heavens and the earth, is it here to trouble me, or is it something, you can get to me without using the teleportation array. It's certainly not simple.
On both sides of the wide hall, there was a row of young swordsmen, each of whom was wearing a sleek and beautifully crafted golden armor, from their standing posture, to their height, to their equipment, to their expressions. All of them are carved out of a mold. Only the most professional fighters. Only then can there be such a well-trained mental state. What kind of gang can have such strength, why don't even I know, I muttered in my heart, and my eyes turned. I saw that the table was full of the best snacks I invited the chef to make, all kinds of fresh fruits, and the cups were filled with the most expensive red wine in the world. It looks incomparably luxurious and elegant.
And the housekeeper Yue'er, who was standing on the side, also changed into a gorgeous dress, and at first glance, she seemed to be a noblewoman from the Middle Ages...... No, it should be a princess, the crescent-white silk dress is full of translucent lace, and there is a Mithril necklace with I don't know how many gems around her neck, and one end is coiled high, leaving only a small strand of curls hanging loosely on the side of the fine white neck, so charming that it almost leads people to sin.
Looking at the ponytail standing on the side, fortunately, she was not dressed up as fancy as the housekeeper of Yue'er, but her eyes looked straight at the long table in front of her, and the sluggishness revealed in her eyes seemed to be a person who saw flowers......
What made my hall look like this, who could enjoy my best wine, who made the housekeeper of Yue'er hang all the treasures at the bottom of the box on himself, and who made the ponytail have such an expression, all my dissatisfaction was directed at the man sitting opposite, enjoying this qiē peacefully.
No way! It turned out to be an npnetbsp; I can't think of any other man who can have such a clean and luxurious complexion other than NPCs; I can't think of any other man with that alluring golden eye other than NPCs; I can't think of any other man who would wear that kind of elaborate medieval gown, with that look, and that perfect face that even a woman would be ashamed of; I really can't think of anyone other than NPCs who made my real eyes only see one name, and the rest is a series of question marks.
This man is indeed an NPC, and he seems to be very familiar with Butler Yue'er, and his identity is still very unusual, because I saw that Butler Yue'er's always proud eyes actually had a hint of compliment and respect.
What kind of character is he, who dares to come to my territory to put on a score, I muttered in my heart.
Seeing my appearance, Yue'er walked quickly to me and whispered in my ear: "This is Prince Charles, a master who cannot be offended, you have to speak well, don't provoke him, we can't afford to provoke him now." ”
I glanced sideways at the housekeeper of Yue'er, cut, isn't it just a prince, are you nervous like this, I don't care if he is a prince or a king, as long as he wants to spread wild on our territory, then resolutely no.
Yue'er saw that I didn't respond to her instructions, and secretly screamed in her heart, but she still made a very happy appearance on the surface, turned her head to the Prince Charles and smiled and said, "This is our lord's hermit, and this ......" She turned her face to me and said nervously: "This is Prince Charles, who is in charge of all the nearby territories." In order to remind me of my attention, Yue'er also specially said the words "in charge of all the nearby territories" very seriously, for fear that I would not hear clearly.
Damn, when that guy heard my name, he just nodded slightly, and he didn't even mean to stand up and say hello, and he didn't even put down the wine glass he was holding in his hand. Damn it. You really didn't take me seriously.
I sat down across from him, stretched out my hand to pull the ponytail and sat down, threw one foot on the table, pretended to be absent-minded, and asked coldly: "Oh, I don't know what your Excellency is doing in the lower territory?" ”
Prince Charles's face turned straight, put down the goblet in his hand and said, "I heard that Your Excellency has adopted a girl from the Oriental Dragon Clan as a pet, so I specially want to come and meet her. ”
What, the more I listened, the more I felt a nameless fire in my chest. Come to my territory to play tricks, it turns out that it's just to see my baby girl, my little dragon girl can be seen by anyone, just wanted to turn his face with him, I saw Yue'er pulling the corner of my clothes vigorously, and signaled again and again in her eyes, okay, let's bear with it first. See what else you want to do.
"You want to see Yaya, okay." I nodded and called the maid out. This girl is probably having fun with Xiao Zi. The two guys rolled to the floor of the hall when they were entangled, and Yaya's hands were still on Xiao Zi's neck. Seeing such an appearance, I frowned at the ponytail, and the housekeeper of Yue'er rolled her eyes and almost fainted. Train a noble earth dragon clan to look like this, except for our buddies, it is estimated that there are no two of them.
Don't you want to see the Oriental Dragon? I'll let you see it, and you should be satisfied by now.
I'm looking at Prince Charles. I saw Yaya get up from the ground, looked at the golden-armored swordsman standing around, and then looked at Prince Charles sitting on the chair, his face was slightly red, and in a blink of an eye, a young girl in red stood in front of us, and Xiaozi also obediently hid to the side, looking at everyone in a low voice.
Halo, this ...... Is this our girl? I couldn't help but take a closer look at the girl in red in front of me, it seems that there is still a little shadow of a five-year-old child, the concave places on the body are concave, and the convex places are convex, which is exquisite, and a red gauze sets off her figure to the limit, and the white thighs are looming in the red gauze, which is no less than the allure of Yue'er. But she did have Yaya's golden longevity lock hanging on her neck, and she was wearing Yaya's golden bell on her hand, and even the red mole in the center of her eyebrows was exactly the same, but the red mole at this time made her look a little less cute, but added a little charm. A smooth green silk was draped smoothly behind her head, and two slightly protruding golden horns were each hung with a string of red coral beads, which made her already delicate skin more delicate and smooth, crystal clear.
"Your Royal Highness the Princess, it is the honor of my life to meet you." When Prince Charles saw Yaya, he was more polite than when he saw me, and reluctantly got up from his chair, took a few steps closer, bent down and gently took Yaya's left hand, and gave a kiss.
It's messy, it's all messed up, what kind of world is this, the guest is lukewarm to my master, but polite to my baby, Yue'er's attitude is so strange and ambiguous, and Yaya suddenly changed her appearance, are we dreaming, or I'm dazzled.
Yaya was grabbed by Prince Charles's hand, her face was slightly red, she retracted her hand very uncomfortably, and bent down slightly, which was considered a return of the gift. Well, it's better to be a girl, there is no shame on us, unlike some people, seeing a prince is like losing his soul. I couldn't help but glance at Yue'er standing next to me, and she also gave me an unceremonious glance back. Yue'er said in her heart: What do you know about Yaya, Yaya is not to save face for you, but the etiquette of the East is different from that of the West, and it is true that the girl is a little shy.
Okay, okay, seeing that you've seen it too, don't stand there stupidly. I came back to my senses, accepted the reality of Yaya's growth, beckoned to her, and asked her to come back to me, fortunately, she has been the most obedient recently, and the intimacy is more than ninety percent, and how can you kid rely on the "cricket" point, the pomp is bigger, and a kiss hand gift will be deceived in the past.
The maid glanced at Prince Charles, turned around and ran towards me. As soon as she ran up to me, the red light reappeared, and the girl changed back to the appearance of a five-year-old child, climbing up to my knees with one hand and one foot, and her eyes were still staring at Prince Charles. Damn, grandma is a bear, am I so unattractive, why did I become a child again when I came back to me, and lay on top of me and looked at that guy, it seems that this girl should teach a good lesson.
Look at that Prince Charles, he has been frowning at our maid. The more I look at it, the more angry I become. With a wave of his hand, he immediately put away Yaya and Xiaozi, and then said coldly to the prince: "You have also seen what you want to see, I don't know what the real purpose of the prince's visit this time is, should it be just to meet our little girl." ”
When Prince Charles saw me put the maid away, his face changed slightly, but then he returned to normal, coughed lightly and said, "Yes, it seems that you are also a smart person, and I came here this time, and there is indeed something else." Speaking of which, that's also a trivial matter, and for you, the lord, it's just a gesture, so I hope that the lord can do us a small favor, and I'm overwhelmed. ”
Damn, let's talk about it, it turned out that I came to ask us to do something. Then what kind of score do you put on, what kind of Weiza do you throw, don't you just explain your intentions, I scolded secretly in my heart. His face also changed to a group and said kindly: "Oh, then you can say anything, as long as I can do it, I will do my best." ”
Since it's the NPC who came to the door to come to the task, the reward must be very considerable, we can't let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, we have to knock him hard to get it, anyway, I've been bored lately. I want to see if you have any "little things" that the master wants to ask in person, but looking at his posture, daring is not a master to mess with, and what he can't do is certainly not as simple as he said. As I spoke, I picked up the snack on the table and took a bite, I drank it, my chef is very good, why can't he make such a delicious thing when he usually eats.
When Prince Charles saw my attitude, he was stunned for a moment, but then smiled and said, "I believe that for you, my lord, this is indeed a trivial matter, so I'll tell you straight." A long time ago, there was a traitor in our family, named Lanusdel, he assassinated several of his fellow clansmen in order to seize the secret treasure, and then was surrounded and suppressed by our large army, seriously injured and fled, and he was nowhere to be found, I recently heard that he came out of the extremely cold land in the north, and we should have gone to clean up the traitors in person, but due to the geographical taboo restrictions, we could not leave this land without permission, and ordinary people could not reach us to accept the task here, so I would like to ask the lord you to do a small favor and find this traitor for us, If he can't be brought back alive, he can be executed on the spot. ”
Listening to what Prince Charles said in one breath, I had a small calculation in my heart, and when I heard it, this shouldn't be a big deal, isn't it just to help him clean up the portal and kill a traitor, it should be quite easy, but the characters who can escape from these guys are definitely not good, if it is a question mark-level wave ss, or a ruthless hand of Niu B, then I dare not be pleased, this little favor is not very easy to help.
Seeing the hesitation on my face, Prince Charles hurriedly said: "As long as the lord can help us with this, we will definitely give you a satisfactory pullback, whether it is equipment or gems, it is definitely a first-class product for you to choose from, it is definitely worth the money, and at the same time, it can also help you improve the strength of the dragon princess and let her evolve, you see how it goes." ”
Damn, I haven't done anything yet, I'm busy making promises, there must be a problem, but this open plate is also quite tempting, it can make my maid evolve, I guess it's like just now, that's not bad, I pondered for a moment and said: "What level is that Lanusdel, what ability, if I can't complete it, what will happen?" Is there a time limit for the task? ”
"Oh, that guy, it's only about level sixty, he's good at ice magic, if you can't complete it, it won't be good, it will only deduct your 10,000 prestige points, I believe that with the lord's ability, since he can open up his own territory here, he will definitely be able to complete this task, as for the time limit, it's a month." Prince Charles replied with a smile.
Level 60,Big wave ss,But I'm good at magic attacks.,Then I have a trick to overcome him.,My high magic defense equipment and demon beads are the best for dealing with magicians.,And if the task is not completed,,There's also a loss of prestige.,Then I can still afford it.,Now our reputation value is very sufficient.,And there's no magic skills to upgrade for the time being.,You can accept this task and see.,A month's time,It's enough for me to prepare.。
I didn't notice that Yue'er was shaking her head and waving her hand next to me, and she almost strangled my neck to make me refuse this task, thought about it and said, "Since Prince Charles believes in me so much, then I will take your task." ”
The red light flashed, and a large line of bold letters skipped in front of me: "Hidden Player, you accepted the Raider mission." ”
When Prince Charles saw that I had agreed, he immediately said, "Now that your lord has accepted the task. Then I won't delay you too much. I took my leave. ”
"Then I won't send it, by the way, if the task is completed, where can I find you." I said, standing up.
"You don't need to look for me, in a month, I'll come back to you, oh yes, I almost forgot to tell you, if you can't complete this task. His Majesty the King will doubt your ability to raise an Eastern Dragon Princess, and will forcibly deprive you of the right to own a Dragon Pet. Prince Charles walked to the door with a golden swordsman, and suddenly turned his head and said.
Damn, what the fuck are you talking about, forcibly depriving me of the right to have a dragon pet, that's not the meaning of robbing my maid away, I was just about to catch up. As soon as he grabbed the bird-like Prince Charles and asked, he saw a flash of golden light, and the guys were gone.
"Fuck, why didn't this guy make his words clear. I want to rob my maid, but there is no door, what a fart prince, what do you think of yourself. I cursed.
Seeing a group of people disappear outside the door, Yue'er sat on the chair and said with a sad face: "It's over, it's over now, Xiao Yin." You just wait to hand over the girl, he doesn't think of himself as anything, just as the son of the dragon. ”
Khan, what Yue'er said just now, I heard it right, son of the dragon, I stared at Yue'er and said, "You tell me again." ”
"It's the son of the dragon, boss, didn't I just remind you that he is the prince who governs all the nearby territories, have you forgotten where your territory is?" Yue'er looked at me with great resentment and said.
Around our territory...... Dragonland Hometown...... That Prince Charles is...... Dizzy, I'm going to be dizzy, when did I provoke this lord, he came to me for trouble, although I am very strong, but I am not a small strong who can't be killed, to deal with a small dragon, I still have a trick, if a group of dragons come to find me, then I can only flash and soar.
"Damn, it's a bull if it's a dragon, it's like 2580,000, isn't it just to kill a traitor, I can't help him kill it." I said harshly.
"What kind of character is that Lanusdel, judging by your expression, he seems to be quite powerful." Ponytail also regained his voice and asked anxiously on the side.
"Haven't you all heard of Lanusdel's name, so you agreed to Charles's request." Yue'er asked us with a surprised face. Ponytail shook his head and looked at me.
See what use I have, I don't know, if I knew, I wouldn't agree lightly, isn't it just a level 60 or so, the master of magic, Lanusdel, how does it sound a little familiar, but I can't remember it.
"Lanusdel is the ......" Yue'er saw my expression, gritted her silver teeth and said word by word, "He is the ice-frost-giant-dragon that appeared in the northern polar ice ocean."
"What, it's ice...... The Frost Dragon ....... "I took the cup in my hand and fell to the ground, making a few crisp sounds, damn, that's a big trouble, this guy must give me water news, about sixty levels, how can this vague number be accurate, magic attack, which dragon is not a monster double attack master, fuck, I was pitted again.
"He's a dragon prince, a traitor to his family, not what a dragon is." Yue'er said angrily.
"How can this be?" Although the ponytail also looked like he was about to faint, he looked quite calm.
Seeing that the matter had come to this, the housekeeper of Yue'er let out a long sigh, and said in the calmest tone possible: "When the prestige of each territory reaches a certain value, it is possible to lead the system to a special task, usually this task is started by some NPCs around the territory, how did I know that our lord has such a big face, and as soon as he comes, a big man like Prince Charles will come." It's just that the location of our territory is so good, even if you just pull out a task given by an NPC, it's not easy to complete, it's just that I didn't tell you in detail about it, so I made this incident. ”
I wiped the sweat from my forehead and said stupidly, "What if I don't complete the task and don't want to hand over the maid when the time comes?" ”
Yue'er smiled bitterly and said, "It's very easy to do, then you are ready to meet the monster attack." ”
"Didn't you say there wouldn't be monsters attacking the city?" Ponytail asked anxiously.
Yue'er waved her hand and said, "Originally, it wouldn't have been, but if our lord insisted on tearing up the agreement, it would be difficult to say......"
